Here's where the code is : http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Active_object#Factor I really need dynamic quotations because quotations are inputted by the user.
I was surprised that no combinator defines a similar word to call(. For example, I thought there would be a bi@( word. Maybe even for all combinators : cleave(, keep(, etc. However that makes many many new words.. So add-stack-effect seemed like a good compromise. It's true though that dynamic quotations are rarely needed and I guess that's why those words aren't defined. Also, I was wondering why the slot changer uses "call" instead of "call( x -- x )". I find it easier to understand when extra arguments are currified in the quotation rather than left on the stack behind the object with "with" anyway. And that makes it work with dynamic quotations.
