I agree with everything you have written but I will say this, Factor looks like you can write “useful” programs with it. I was watching a presentation on Factor on YT and I was thinking that’s cool and all but how do you make an HTTP request and parse the response and almost immediately after that the presenter showed it.

What a fantastic example of what the web should be. This whole site is a treasure trove.

  Indeed, an awesome read, and with pointers to many other books and resources which also sound extremely interesting.
  Makes me want to restart my efforts to port JonesForth to some other machine!

    Haha I've actually been trying to port it to a bootable x86 binary. Unsuccessfully so far :/

  I’m actually just done reading the whole post. I may have fallen into many rabbit holes. I’ll take a look at the rest of the site, if everything if of the same high quality it’s gonna be great!
