Hi Glenn, Since I don't want to complicate the code base with two Cocoa bridges, it came down to a choice between continued support for 10.4, or getting Factor on 64-bit Mac OS X. I had been looking forward to the latter for quite some time, since the larger fixnum size, maximum array size and number of registers are very nice to have.
We have a similar situation on Windows, where Windows XP provides a new API that makes structured exception handling much easier to use. I'd rather keep the VM code clean than support Windows 2000. It has been almost a year since OS X 10.5 was released. At this stage of Factor development I don't want to invest too much effort into backwards compatibility. If you don't want to upgrade to OS X 10.5, perhaps you could run Factor on Linux in a VM.
