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's see.

Factor is not dead, but continues to make development progress. If you're curious you can find more information on the main page: https://factorcode.org The latest release of 0.100 was September 2024, and we are getting cl

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 spot of concise syntax, dynamic feature

We are pretty proud of this release, it represents a big upgrade over the last one.

We did start a conversation about building a package manager, but have not had anyone champion this as a project. I admit to being a little lazy about this due to including so much code in the main repository. https://gist.githu

The releases have varied over the years from less than a year, to almost two years between "releases". For some historical context: 0.93 was released April 16, 2010. 0.94 was released September 18, 2010 (+5 months). 0.95 was rele

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 optional stack effects if you yearn for the good ol' days: ht

I added some information about the Factor language to the blog template - great idea, thanks. Concatenative languages are quite interesting, and I'd encourage you to try it out. You might find it helps your thinking about certain prob

Congratulations! I love the idea and your execution is pretty great too, some feedback below... Bug reports: - If you create a new notebook, and then rename it using Right-click "Rename", the drop down still shows the old name. - The app

TokuDB is great technology, glad to see them embracing open source. Too bad their wordpress installation needs some tuning!
