I'm not really sure if there was a question in there... Loading all the vocabularies, which all load many other vocabularies, is not easy to do. If you're just sitting down at your editor, typing vocab names into the `USING:` line, then yeah, it's going to be difficult to know exactly which

I've never used the ui vocabs, so grain of salt, but 1. If you have a particular width in mind, IN: scratchpad USE: wrap.strings IN: scratchpad a long line 5 wrap-string print a long line Thus, use `wrap-string`, and build a `label` with the result. E.g., a long line 5 wrap-string

Tangential thought, but I always loved that Factor's documentation is separate from the actual source code (i.e., that foo.factor's docs live in foo-docs.factor). In really any other language I can think of, you have to clutter what might otherwise be easy-to-read code with gobs of explanations,

Just did a load-all test-all with 0.94, and that crashes, too. I know that I've run those tests before without running out of memory, so I suspect it's either an OS update issue (who knows?) or how my setup is interacting with my new hardware (inherited some 64-bit hardware, still using my old

Hey all, Mini-update: got the unit tests for the global value numbering pass more up-to-snuff awhile ago (it's like test-driven development in reverse!). Still seems like I should be doing more to test the new capabilities, but I'm not sure if I could do much more than what's there. My efforts

Okay, I've looked into the things discussed in the IRC session. First off, my initial idea is ill-defined, not really useful, and Factor's current DFAs are okay, or at least as efficient as they'd be in the Lerner/Grove/Chambers framework. Even though it's a little crufty, compiler.tree
