It's been awhile since I've done Symbian programming but I looked at it a long long long time ago, back when Factor had an interpreter. I mentioned it on irc so it might be indexed somewhere. This was also before Symbian/Nokia had their posix C wrapper libraries. Without them I didn't bother going far as it would require too many changes. Now that their available I suspect it'll be quite doable. An approach might be a Symbian app that uses the Factor DLL to run code. This is how I did a Symbian Ficl port a while back. The Symbian API is c++ so you might need to do some magic to call Symbian API's. Symbian DLL's aren't allowed to have global variables, right? Some refactoring of the factor VM might be needed. Or use one of the workarounds other libraries have used (compiling as an engine and using IPC to talk to it, etc).
