I have been learning the Factor and J languages to experiment with point-free programming. The basic mechanics of the languages seem clear, but getting a feeling for how to approach algorithm desig...

I'm potentially interested in exploring a stack-based language like Forth (or Factor). What I'd like to see is how an application might be built from the ground up, step by step. The tutorials I've...

Is there a non-trivial example application written in Factor language, pregerrably for GUI application which could server as a language tutorial?

I recently took a look at Factor, and the idea of having a language based around the concept of a stack is very interesting. (This was my first encounter with a stack-oriented language.) Howe...

Advent of Code Day 1 requires looping, in one form or another, over a long string of parentheses like ((((())(())(((()))(( etc. The idea is that ( goes up one "floor", ) goes down one floor, and th...

I have read (from Slava Pestov) that Factor was influenced by Lisp, but I am not sure that I can understand how? Are they not very difference programming languages?

What are some real-world projects done in concatenative languages like Forth, Factor, Joy, etc.?

I have a word which constructs a quotation which I want to be called. However, when I load the code I get Cannot apply “call” to a run-time computed value. If I use the walker and step thru the cod...

This page of the Factor manual talks about these types of stacks stored in continuations: datastack retainstack callstack namestack catchstack What precisely do these stacks hold? The three mos...

I really love the Factor language. But I find that compiling programs written in it is incredibly slow, and thus it's not feasible to create real projects with Factor. For example, compiling the s...

Having recently come across this introduction to Factor, I've been a bit curious to learn more. Aside from the official FAQ mentioned there, do you have resources for learning the language (a...

Do you plan on using Factor? Have you looked at it? Checked it out. Do you understand stack oriented programming? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_0QlhYlS8g
