== 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 function example is out of date.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)

:::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.
