Hugh, If you go directly to http://docs.factorcode.org there is a search function (same as the apropos word on a load-all image) in the frame to the left. Perhaps there should always be a frame when linking directly to the articles? -Adam On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 2:25 PM, Slava Pestov wrote: >

The major feature of Forth is that it allows the programmer to write code that executes at compile-time. To a large extent, this is not necessary in Factor because the structure statements (if, while, etc.) use quots, and it is possible to write your own in a similar manner. I still see a need
