I only use such language if I meet extreme stupidity and I have one of those days. On the other hand I do not think that Slava is a demigod or Factor is the Messiah. It is just a nice language which appeals to me with its RPN, which I also used in my own experimental Forth spinoff. And with its highly useful and well built constructs and strength. It badly needs documentation and some sensible promotion - even though I never ever promoted one of my previous products, that is not the zen way...

Re: [Factor-talk] Wikipedia page flagged for notability and possible deletion
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...

Re: [Factor-talk] Docs and other topics
Hi, I really hope you won't find my feedback egocentric, I simply state my opinion this way because I believe others might have the same view as me. - Linearity: absolutely. That is what I need the first time. And I mean Factor handbook / The language only - language concepts, basic combinators, etc, but from this territory everything! After that, the hypertext is just perfect, but I have to get to it somehow without losing my momentum. They say that until you have a goal you can achieve it because you have motivation. Without knowing the features of a language though I cannot set a reasonable goal. (Learning the language itself is no goal, doing something with it is one.) So I have to go through the docs without motivation and if they are unfriendly I will simply leave them be :) I have to mention that I really like the short straightforward nature of the descriptions though! Very good work. But linearity would be key, too. - General setup and accessibility: with that I did not have any problem, jEdit supports Factor out of the box so I had no difficulty with syntax highlighting either. That must be home territory for the language though for trivial reasons... The "one app bundled with everything for every platform" philosophy is also very appealing to me! I would need such a doc, too. - Tutorials: the palindrome was all right, but it is maybe not enough. Though far not as important as a readable doc! My learning style just needs some fundamentals then I can go and experiment myself. Another important remark: you really have to consider what is on the other side: Clojure is on the other side! If you want to stay alive in the long run, Factor has to be accessible! It is appealing already and people know it. And they begin with the Factor UI and they like it, then they want to develop professional applications with it and they have difficulties. On the other had they watch the overwhelmingly awesome presentations of Rich Hickey and fetch a short book on Clojure and have the almost instant opportunity to start professional development on an equally appealing platform. Not an easy situation - but it can be if you do the right moves. I guess I have to be promiscuous after all since both languages provide me continuous orgasms and stimulation with their depth and sanity.

[Factor-talk] Factor docs
Hi Guys, I would like to ask, if any one of you have created a PDF version of the Factor docu, a cheat sheet or anything else that helps learning the language. I am reading about Factor and parsing code since some weeks now and it really challenges one's memory and patience. It is a really appealing language, I always liket Forth variants, also created a simple one myself, but learning Factor is quite hard currently. Factor has an excellent UI and Help system, but I would need some accumulated documentation for it to have an overview about it. (I designed a web debug tool some time before, and it had the *exact same* features than the Factor UI, that is why I like it so much :) By my opinion it would be really important to enable developers to enter this world more easily and for that we need at least readable documentation. The nature of the language will prevent the masses from learning it anyway :) On the other hand there is Clojure of course and regarding learning curve the two is hard to compare... Your opinion? Any insights are appreciated :) Cheers, Balazs -- The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
