One of Factor's main goals is to be useful for interactive and [[test-driven development]], which is why Factor is, at its core, a safe version of Forth. Factor is dynamically typed, but the compiler assesses the stack depth of words (functions).
 
So far, both [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[C (programming language)|C]] implementations have been constructed. The Java implementation is deprecated and no longer maintained. The native runtime of the C version is continually shrinking as an increasing proportion of Factor is self-hosted. However, there will likely always be a portion of Factor written in C.
 
Though Factor does not adhere to an external standard the way C does, the language is heavily documented.
