Interesting fact: The day Slava Pestov gave his Techtalk, the next door Golang was presented. History might have taken another turn for Factor if Golang didn't slurped the audience on that day.
- slavapestov 8y agoHah! I don't think a stack-based language would have taken off regardless of who was in the room that day, to be honest. It all worked out well anyway, I ended up joining Google a couple of years after that talk, and now I'm at Apple working on Swift. It's not as elegant as Factor but of course has a much bigger user base.
