350Kb size reduction for development images by using shorter instruction sequences in a couple of places in the compiler

Yay! Factor binaries for 64-bit Windows: http://builds.factorcode.org/download?os=winnt&cpu=x86.64

Worked on some nice compile time reductions tonight... going to merge tomorrow
slava_pestov
Changing ERROR: to make all error classes immutable reduced development image size by 300kb. Fewer setter methods generated

Fixed various obscure class redefinition bugs: http://github.com/slavapestov/factor/commit/03a74f223735c719c6c71217145953cfe0e58721

Debugging tuple class redefinition code paths. It takes a lot of work to make Factor's F2 key do the right thing

Crazy example showing some currying dataflow combinators: http://paste.factorcode.org/paste?id=1193

Dependency tracking and recompilation is one of the trickiest parts of Factor. Re-working this code yet again and making good progress
slava_pestov
Found a broken and not unit tested word in combinators.smart. Had no idea about it until I added a new parse-time check that caught it

The coolest programming language docs I've seen were HyperCard Help, HyperTalk Reference and Tutorial stacks that shipped with HyperCard.

When I first ported the Factor VM to C++, I sketched out a todo list in http://bit.ly/1uopX it's all done now!

Factor downloads are available again. Sorry for the inconvenience
slava_pestov
Factor downloads are currently down. In the meantime, build source from the GIT repo. We'll have them back as soon as possible

Getting Factor working again on 64-bit Windows

Finished a refactoring of the mixin class impl, but can't merge yet... 11 unit tests fail
slava_pestov
The Factor source tree has almost 300,000 lines of Factor code. Largest concatenative code base in the world?

'git gc' seems to kick off at the most inconvenient times...
slava_pestov
Factor now has up to date binaries for 10 platforms

Thanks to @erg 's sysadmin skillz on the build farm, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD are now running reliably in VirtualBox VMs.
slava_pestov
Lots of nice VM cleanups lately
slava_pestov
Added a section to recent blog post about mutable local variables. I realized I forgot to mention how those work

After global reg vars and GNU asm source files were removed, it didn't take much to get MSVC to build Factor: http://bit.ly/66hHY2
