::Don't get me wrong: the technology behind Factor and its VM are impressive technological achievements. Still, I found it hard to find articles on Factor that were not written by either [[Slava Pestov]], [http://phildawes.net/blog/ Phil Dawes], or [http://useless-factor.blogspot.com/ Daniel Ehrenberg], who in my eyes are too close to Factor to be considered secondary sources.
::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)
==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]] <font style="font-size:8px; color:red; font-face:arial">[[User:Bjelleklang/Tools|Bug Me]]</font> 23:59, 6 May 2007 (UTC)▼
: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)▼

should a section on history be added to the article? I heard that factor was made with the intention of being used for a game http://factorcode.org/pics/snap2.png [[Special:Contributions/203.158.58.75|203.158.58.75]] ([[User talk:203.158.58.75|talk]]) 09:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)▼
