Hi everyone, I discovered Factor somewhat by accident and an attach of Forth nostalgia made me have a closer look. No regrets: this is really an impressive language with an impressive library and an impressive development environment (FUEL for Emacs).
What I couldn't figure out is how Factor programmers deal with today's multicore processors. Threads are apparently cooperative, so that's not the answer. That leaves communicating processes as an option, but is there some support library? I also wonder if there are any real-life applications that one could learn from. I know the Factor compiler is written in Factor, but I am not a compiler expert so that is not the best example for me to look at. Are there any other Factor applications floating around?
