You're thinking of Forth, not Factor- Mr. Pestov seems to want to compete more with high level languages like Python than with C. Factor has garbage collection, and compiles to images [ a la smalltalk ], not really attributes that scream 'embedded' to me.

I like how you put [a la smalltalk] in square brackets, rather than in parentheses (a la lisp).

It would seem that is the case. The factor image is within a few percent of the sbcl lisp image. Nonetheless, the energy is contagious.
