New (very short) blog post: http://factor-language.blogspot.com/2010/03/adding-recaptcha-to-factor-pastebin.html

This is very neat. A nice evolution of the Self UI: http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/acb/codebubbles_site.htm

paste.factorcode.org now has a recaptcha, thanks to @erg 's furnace.recaptcha vocabulary. Hopefully we won't have any more spam on there

Am I the only one who doesn't use bookmarks? URL autocompletion and Google completely eliminate the need to store and organize links by hand

What is the programming equivalent of homeopathic medicine?

Found and fixed a memory leak in concurrency.futures that was slowing down concatenative.org

Factor's sequences vocabulary is pretty hardcore: http://bit.ly/dAcear

I'm really happy that Factor contributors are writing Factor code, and not VM extensions in C or C++. Mostly-self-hosting FTW

The problem with Smalltalk: "port to Squeak. The pain begins. Just getting the code out of VW was a pain" http://bit.ly/aCxThf

Github reminds me of SourceForge. Always slow, down half of the time

I love doing "foo.db" [ listener ] with-db" and being able to do database maintenance from a Factor listener

Updated concatenative.org to latest Factor, and found a bug I need to fix

Another usage of -rot gone
slava_pestov
Got rid of two usages of -rot ( a b c -- c a b ). 5 usages left in core, after those are gone I'll mark it deprecated

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
slava_pestov
Dependency tracking and recompilation is one of the trickiest parts of Factor. Re-working this code yet again and making good progress
