Sam, Interesting in sites :-)
I find I only use Locals when I end up in a word where I have to do a lot of stack shuffling, and breaking the word down further doesn't really work. I find Locals interesting because they give you the best of both worlds and allow you to switch between the two on an as needed basis. Glenn V.

I personally dislike Eduardo's style, as it leads to code which looks too complicated to me and I think that it encourages longer words. What I like a lot about concatenative languages is the ability to easily refactor parts of existing words into new, shorted words, without any rewriting, and I have the feeling that this is often lost when locals are in the game. But heck, Eduardo shares much more Factor code than I do, so I let the code talk and wouldn't allow myself to criticize his (very useful IMO) experiments, even if I would prefer the Factor standard library to be more in a stack-oriented style.
