What would this language do better than current languages?

  It's small and easy to port. It might be useful in some embedded projects. Per Wikipedia the original use case was video game scripting. A newer concatenative language with a better website: https://8th-dev.com/ https://8th-dev.com/

    Factor is definitely not that small (there's a full optimizing compiler and a giant standard library…) and doesn't run on any embedded platforms. It's more like C# than like Forth in terms of usage scenarios.

    Looks fun! It's a shame that it's not open source, but I'm not in the owner's shoes, so there's that.
