Haha, yes I'm a big fan of ATS and I use it in projects. What motivates the dabbling in Rust is that it'll be possible at some point to use Rust in Gecko, and Servo is an interesting project to contribute to.

It works well on Linux at the moment but we've been concentrating mostly on Windows - we're enabling that first as that's the platform that has received the most testing. I use it on YouTube on Linux daily.

I used to use Factor as my main programming language for a few years and really enjoyed the language and environment. It feels like a mix of Forth, Lisp and Smalltalk. I wrote a number of blog posts about it which might help give a feel for

Factor used to have the stack displayed in a separate frame above the listener and it was removed at some point. When I was using Factor I tended to keep the stack short and use the combinators to avoid having to think about large stacks. I
