I mentioned Factor in less detail below, I think it's a lot of fun, but -- from the detail here, might I assume that you're involved with Factor in some way?
If so: does it have a package manager yet?
The last I was plunking around with Factor, 6-8 months ago, uh, "dire" was a good word to describe the package/library management situation. Is that still accurate?
Have you guys considered bootstrapping by using a package manager from another language/ecosystem? For instance, npm is pretty awesome, and they don't really care whether what's being distributed is javascript or not.
- evincarofautumn 13y agoI’m not involved with Factor development, just a casual user and concatenative evangelist. Factor still lacks a package manager; the notion, I suppose, is that the standard library is the standard package repository like npmjs.org for Node or Hackage for Haskell.
- mr_luc 13y agoHmm. Man, maybe I should see if I can hack something together using npm and a naming convention. Package managers are ... important.
