John -- Couldn't resist chiming in here. Of course Factor is portable, open
source, and reliable. These are three of its strongest attributes. But the
DLL version of it nothwithstanding, it is such an attractive language from a
language standpoint that it leads one to want to have it where one is already
working -- not just as an alternative. Thus the genesis of my (admittedly
expansive) vision of integrating it into the environment I am building.
Chances are I'll die before that ever comes to anything. But a more general
benefit to the wider community would be eventually to have Factor integrated
into some of the development environments that folks are already using on a
day-in, day-out. That probably means a reasonably smooth integration with
non-Factor runtimes like the JVM or the CLR and the code and libraries that sit
on top of them, as well as programming environments like Eclipse and
VisualStudio. Now I understand how wild-eyed and "future" this is. The
language after all is a labor of love from a dedicated community that just
happens to have a lot of good taste, but finite resources. And it hasn't even
reached 1.0 maturity yet, so there's much to be done before such a wider vision
materializes. So please do not misunderstand; this is not in any way a
complaint or criticism -- nor even a request, because, you know, that's just
not realistic. It is, however, a hope. That some day this fabulous language
can be brought into mainstream environments where it's power can be put to
really widespread use. Granted, I'm an enterprise development manager by trade
during the day, so maybe this is just my bias. But wishing and hoping costs
nothing. Best,

Subject: Re: [Factor-talk] Is there a Factor.js ?
There is a "Factor Playground" implemented in Javascript:
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/egaga/jsfactor/playground.html
It does not work with Factor's extensive library, however.
Its not worth getting into a philosophical discussion about Javascript, but I
would note that Factor is portable (linux, mac, windows), open source (bsd
license), and reliable (extensive library and test suites).
Best,John.

What in my mind is the Processing programming language established on
JavaScript.
Include "Processing.js" into your .html turns it into processing aware.
< script src="processing-1.3.6.js" >< /script >
Refer to http://processingjs.org/
We have Forth.js too. It run under Windows DOS box JScript interpreter. Like
this: cscript.exe jeforth.js
OKTo work in a shell is very useful.
The reason I like anything.JS is the portability, open source, and reliable.
