== Notability ==
Is this language really notable? There isn't much information about it besides from their own site, a few blogs, and random content aggregators. [[Special:Contributions/64.191.188.252|64.191.188.252]] ([[User talk:64.191.188.252|talk]]) 18:03, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

::Anyway, as I wrote above I am now convinced that Factor is notable. I won't revert if anybody removes the notability tag from the article again. — [[User:Tobias Bergemann|Tobias Bergemann]] ([[User talk:Tobias Bergemann|talk]]) 07:28, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

The factorial! function example is out of date. The ranges syntax has been changed from [1,b] to [1..b]

==Interpreted language?==
Quote: "Factor was originally only interpreted, but it can now also be compiled. The compiler is written entirely in Factor, and it does not output standalone executables but rather merely a faster image."
So in other words....the compiler optimizes the code, which is still in Factor? Or am I missing something here? [[User:Bjelleklang|Bjelleklang]] - [[User_talk:Bjelleklang|talk]] <
:No, the compiler converts Factor into machine code (currently supporting PPC, x86, x86-64 and ARM), which is nevertheless stored in the image with non-compiled Factor code. Maybe the wording was unclear. <small>[[User:LittleDan|LittleDan]]</small><sup>[[User talk:LittleDan|talk]]</sup> 17:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

::It would be nice if Wikipedia could be purely a collection of information not derived at all from sources by the people involved, but that's not always possible. If you look at the citations for the Python article, a large proportion of them are to the main Python website or written by Python developers, and almost all of them are written by Python users. Another article which lacks secondary sources is [[exec (operating system)]]; only three sources are cited, and all of these were written by developers or standardizers of Unix systems. There have been many blog posts written by Factor users who are not involved in the core development, and even a couple university classes taught which incorporated the Factor language. Code in Factor is present in Wikibooks and and Rosettacode, and it is listed as a solution language in Project Euler; syntax highlighting for Factor is provided by Github and many other things. Would providing proof of these help the page's notability? I think they are facts that would be rather boring to list in the article; the exec article does not go to great lengths to talk about how many university OS courses explain how to use it. Or are they insufficient because they haven't been printed on paper? <small>[[User:LittleDan|LittleDan]]</small><sup>[[User talk:LittleDan|talk]]</sup> 20:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
::Do you think this article adds too much synthesis, or does anything bad with statements about living persons? <small>[[User:LittleDan|LittleDan]]</small><sup>[[User talk:LittleDan|talk]]</sup> 20:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Re the living persons, I think the guidelines are there to prevent people advertising themselves (or close associates) or libelling others. The only references I notice here are those about Slava, which are factual and don't fall into either category. So I would be surprised if anyone thought there was a problem with them.
