Hi Guys,
first and foremost: fortunately who appreciates languages like Factor will find
them on the web anyway. If I could find False (and Malbolge and Brainfuck) ages
ago without the help of Jimmy Wales then Factor is not so easy to miss either.
secondly I had to leave this comment on the discussion page:
::: Re: Re: Tobias, unfortunately you are not notable to most of us Wikipedia
readers, probably your entries should be deleted from here. On the other hand
and to change the tone, Factor is one of the most advanced programming
languages today, along with Clojure and REBOL. Since I already know and like
the language and do not want to find it on the web again, just delete away the
entry! How the bloody hell can there be a guideline which says that a
scientific or engineering feat as advanced as Factor should be simply omitted?
And Jimmy Wales wanted my money for that the other day with those handsome
portraits. My buttocks.
Hope no one is offended...
Cheers,
Balazs
