Overview

A language implementation such as Factor is a microcosm of computer science, and the Factor project in particular includes everything from compilers to garbage collection to internationalization and user interface design. Because Factor is mostly implemented in itself, students who study it can learn how an entire self-contained language system works. Factor is both more advanced than most scripting language implementations and simpler than the JVM, making it ideal for study.
