Talk:Factor (programming language)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this language at all notable? Stevage 15:17, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

No less notable than List of vehicles in the Simpsons or a thousand other topics here. It's had far more development and practical application than the Joy language, let alone Brainfuck. 67.98.226.12 23:23, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Ceran 18:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)Aside from answering the eternal question "What would Lisp look like backwards?", no, this language isn't very notable. That said, the previous commenter makes a good point in that there are articles on far less note-worthy topics. More importantly (and surprisingly), it still appears to be under active development. As of today, the author is making regular updates to his blog at http://factor-language.blogspot.com/. So who knows, maybe this boring love-child of Lisp and Forth might actually become useful.
