       | I'm really impressed by Factor. It has a lot of the niceties that

       | this the development environment is presented as a very cohesive
       | package, including standardized project structuring styles, a
       | documentation system and a UI library.

       | The last time I tried to learn it I stopped because I found the
       | concatenative syntax even harder to parse than s-exprs when any
       | math was involved. I'm giving it another go now.
