Re: [Factor-talk] What do we call a collection of vocabs?
I seem to recall (dimly from a long time ago) the term "lexicon" being used in Forth as the next step in the hierarchy. I.e. word -> vocabulary -> lexicon. In Forth, "dictionary" has a much different meaning as a searchable list of words. Thus, using "dictionary" here for Factor might cause confusion for people coming from a Forth background who are drawn to Factor (like me!). No problems with "package", however. -John On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 9:37 PM, Doug Coleman wrote: > I think ``dictionary`` would be the Factor way. > > Issue 641 talks about renaming words to functions etc. > > On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 6:19 PM, John Benediktsson wrote: >> >> The only names we have right now are "vocab-root" (vocabularies that share >> a common file directory they are loaded from) or "dictionary" (mapping of >> vocabulary names to vocabularies). >> >> I think "package" would be the best name probably, and we have had some >> ideas in the past on working on a module system: >> >> https://gist.github.com/jckarter/3440892 >> >> The issue is being tracked here: >> >> https://github.com/slavapestov/factor/issues/641 >> >> >> >> On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 5:46 PM, Björn Lindqvist wrote: >>> >>> There is a correspondence between common languages names for >>> programming objects and Forth-inspired languages names: >>> >>> Python => Java => Factor >>> function => method word >>> module => class vocabulary >>> package => package??? >>> >>> So in Python, a collection of functions (and classes) in a file forms >>> a module and a collection of modules forms a package.

Re: [Factor-talk] What do we call a collection of vocabs?
I think ``dictionary`` would be the Factor way. Issue 641 talks about renaming words to functions etc. On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 6:19 PM, John Benediktsson wrote: > The only names we have right now are "vocab-root" (vocabularies that share > a common file directory they are loaded from) or "dictionary" (mapping of > vocabulary names to vocabularies). > > I think "package" would be the best name probably, and we have had some > ideas in the past on working on a module system: > > https://gist.github.com/jckarter/3440892 > > The issue is being tracked here: > > https://github.com/slavapestov/factor/issues/641 > > > > On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 5:46 PM, Björn Lindqvist wrote: > >> There is a correspondence between common languages names for >> programming objects and Forth-inspired languages names: >> >> Python => Java => Factor >> function => method word >> module => class vocabulary >> package => package??? >> >> So in Python, a collection of functions (and classes) in a file forms >> a module and a collection of modules forms a package.

Re: [Factor-talk] What do we call a collection of vocabs?
The only names we have right now are "vocab-root" (vocabularies that share a common file directory they are loaded from) or "dictionary" (mapping of vocabulary names to vocabularies). I think "package" would be the best name probably, and we have had some ideas in the past on working on a module system: https://gist.github.com/jckarter/3440892 The issue is being tracked here: https://github.com/slavapestov/factor/issues/641 On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 5:46 PM, Björn Lindqvist wrote: > There is a correspondence between common languages names for > programming objects and Forth-inspired languages names: > > Python => Java => Factor > function => method word > module => class vocabulary > package => package??? > > So in Python, a collection of functions (and classes) in a file forms > a module and a collection of modules forms a package.

[Factor-talk] What do we call a collection of vocabs?
There is a correspondence between common languages names for programming objects and Forth-inspired languages names: Python => Java => Factor function => method word module => class vocabulary package => package??? So in Python, a collection of functions (and classes) in a file forms a module and a collection of modules forms a package. In Java, a collection of methods forms a class and a collection of classes forms a package. In Factor, a file with words is a vocab but a collection of vocabs is what? :) Do we have a name for it? -- mvh/best regards Björn Lindqvist -- Don't Limit Your Business. Reach for the Cloud.
