<h1>Why Factor?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <big>Factor programming language</big> combines <a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Features/The%20language">powerful language features</a> with a <a href="http://docs.factorcode.org/content/article-vocab-index.html">full-featured library</a>. The implementation is <a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Optimizing%20compiler">fully compiled</a> for performance, while still supporting <a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Interactive development">interactive development</a>. Factor applications are portable between all common platforms. Factor can <a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Deployment">deploy stand-alone applications</a> on all platforms. Full source code for the Factor project is available under a <a href="http://factorcode.org/license.txt">BSD license</a>.</p>

<h1>Show me some code!</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Factor belongs to the family of <em><a href="http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Concatenative%20language">concatenative languages</a></em>: this means that, at the lowest level, a Factor program is a series of words (functions) that manipulate a stack of references to dynamically-typed values. This gives the language a powerful foundation which allows many abstractions and paradigms to be built on top. Reload this page to see a random code example below.</p>
