I do hang out with Slava occasionally, and he’s been helpful even if he’s not that into concatenative programming anymore. For better or worse, the current Factor maintainers are focused more on language internals than onboarding new users. Concatenative/compositional programming does require a different way of thinking, which I think is easy to learn but hard to teach.
- throwaway7645 10y agoUnderstood. Is concatenative programming not especially good for what he is currently interested in?
- erichocean 10y agoLast I heard, Slava was working on the Linux kernel at Google.
- evincarofautumn 10y agoHe’s working on the Swift compiler at Apple these days.
- throwaway7645 10y agoThat's pretty prestigious.
