These things take time, effort, and expertise. The intersection of people will all these things is small. So there’s no book (yet!) because nobody happens to have written one. Though Factor does have a chapter in the upcoming “Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks”[1]. > My question would be is Factor still in active development (bug fixes) and > is still a 1.0 release planned? It certainly appears alive. A majority of the recent commits have been made by Doug Coleman (erg), John Benediktsson (mrjbq7), and Björn Lindqvist (bjourne). Progress is being made on the 0.97 release[2], but disappointingly the release after 0.99 is being called 0.100. Will it ever end?
