    No, but works fine in Rosetta emulation. And can use native libraries installed via for example the Intel Homebrew. We do hope to get native aarch64 support in the near future. Let…

    I hope you see this comment: Please revert the "fix" that makes it so your demo is not seen at all.

    I imagine package managers will start picking this up shortly since it just released publicly.

    What, in particular, are you looking for? Something like enum variants?

    Fixed, thanks for reporting! It was correct on the main Factor website, but my blog was using the old links before we fixed the macos rename.

    I agree, I've written much better Factor code. This was mainly to get a matching test case working simply...

    I'm a bit biased as I've been working on and with Factor for 15 years and I am also the author of the linked article and "Re: Factor" blog. I find Factor to have a compelling sweet…

    A Factor version compares favorably at 13 lines of code, and as fast as the parallel OCaml version. http://re-factor.blogspot.com/2014/06/comparing-k-nn-in-fact...

    We made stack effects mandatory for most definitions as it appeared an area of frustration with new Factor programmers. However, we have a stack checker that still supports optiona…
