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

for what it's worth, I listed factor in my resume, as programming language knowledge. the truth is there are many programming languages, and most of them are good. it's a matter of pluralism of opinions, not a competition. I like that factor can inherently extend and improve in basic language

[Factor-talk] aspects and querying factor code

Hi guys, does anyone know where I can find jamesnvc 's aspects vocabulary? I think it really fits in with factor. james used annotate to implement it, don't know if it was finished. Thanks, Kobi PS: why is it of interest? I recently read about aop: (but haven't tried yet) In addition to

[Factor-talk] partial http

Hi everyone, I needed partial http get requests, and it wasn't in the library so I used http's range header. this seems like a common need, so I'm sharing with you. here's what I have so far: : partial-get-request ( url #bytes -- request ) [ get-request ] dip numberstring bytes=0- prepend

[Factor-talk] information request about ui part

Hey guys, I'm looking to do more serious 'factor'ing, and want to build a complete app. But the documentation for the gui part, is very limited. (I also like the portable nature of the gui and that it looks the same - and would like to create something) Are there any tutorials I missed, or

Hi guys, so I took it up on Slava's words, and tried. http://paste.factorcode.org/paste?id=1713 I haven't tested much as I just wrote it. But it seems like it works. (i think the calculation is ok too, but my math is lousy so..) there are two versions, one is based on an array, the other on a

[Factor-talk] multi dimensional arrays and console

Hi guys, 1) In C sharp, multi dimensional arrays are built into the language, and I find them very useful for representing a board, or a board with a few layers. the syntax is also pretty nice: int[,,] cube = new int[3,3,3]; for example. but you can also do int[] (if you have the ram

Re: [Factor-talk] Factor and the Google Summer of Code

Hi Joe and all, I have a few ideas, but you guys should approve if they're acceptable: - improve debugging in the ide, so that the walker walks the written code and not the inlined representation. - better error reporting - when possible, try to pinpoint the exact problem. for example, if

[Factor-talk] playing audio files on factor

Hi all, is there a way to play a wav file from within factor? the OpenAL dlls never worked for me on Windows pcs. I know we can hook to the windows API -- I think there's a function called PlaySound. but haven't tried yet. Are there plans to support audio playing on all the platforms? maybe I

Re: [Factor-talk] new_ui, binaries, etc

Great news, kudos to littledan :) Slava, is regexp the only or main way to get text processing on factor? I've created some utilities for text processing which are more low level and also less complete, but they might be faster, or simply more ready out of the box. (if anyone is less familiar with

Re: [Factor-talk] r and r removed

may they rest in peace. this is a forth feature, that factor departed from. I think this indicates that factor is becoming more structured and less hackable/flexible. In general, it is good for designing code and keeping it clean, or good practices. OTOH, it might take more mental work to start

Re: [Factor-talk] Faster loading of sequence implementations

Hey slava, for perceived speed, what about loading the factor code in the environment and loading the documentation in a spawned thread? (which will end later in its own time) This way, it would return immediately after the factor code was loaded. which is what the user was probably waiting

Re: [Factor-talk] help for help

hi slava and all, I think it would be neat to have such statistics generated dynamically on the website. (263/700 documented examples, click here to see the list..) Then, factor programmers would know what is needed and where to fill in, (aiming for clear clean code). like a todo list for
