Glad you guys liked it. And, I did not notice that typo until you
pointed it out - will fix.
Thanks,

I totally agree, the presentation is VERY COOL!Great visual style, great accent on the details in small steps, great topics covered, no clutter. The only minor criticism is the use of the word "breath" instead of "width". If it wasn't some intentional joke, I would at least fix the typo in "brea_d_
P.S., this is fun to show off too, also implemented as a library.
USING: infix ;
INFIX:: quadratic-root ( a b c -- x )
(-b+sqrt(sq(b)-(4*a*c)))/(2*a) ;
It's a little fragile though, I just noticed it doesn't seem to let me
output more than one value on the stack (-b +/- sqrt...)
This is GREAT!
I love the topics covered, the step-through approach, and the overall
feeling. I bet that was a great presentation.
Best,
John.

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your inputs. In the end, I decided to focus on the aspects
of Factor that I was most amazed by when I first discovered the language
last year. I presented yesterday, and it was received well. I think I
kindled the interest of a few people who attended.

John, the question was specifically about the quotation parameter's stack effects in general, i.e. `quot: ( x -- x )` vs. simply `quot` in the parameter lists. My take is that the quotation stack effects are not checked separately on a per-parameter basis, only the word as a whole is checked. So, t
Well, technically neither ``dip`` nor ``keep`` need those stack effects,
they are inlined which means the non-inline word that includes them will
have it's stack effect checked by the compiler for correctness.
There are few reasons why we want to have the ".." variadic stack effects,
and those are
Thanks for the ideas John!
I have been looking at the collection of talks, and they've been quite
helpful. Your thoughts about discussing "Java like" things makes a lot
of sense and I think contrasting Factor's object system with Java's
should be a nice topic.
That said, I did run into a que
We have a few "talks" that were given a number of years ago (not all code
in them is up to date, but it's mostly good -- if you have problems
updating the code let me know and I can help):

Hi Guys,
We have a developer community at where I work, and we do monthly tech
talks that usually last between 30 and 40 minutes. I presume very few in
that group have looked at stack based languages before, and I've been
wanting to do a small talk about Factor there.
