That, I would guess, is a result of its being implemented in C#. But what you lose at that point is the ability for the language to be used outside of the CLR and the extreme portability of something like Factor. What I'm envisioning is something closer to Microsoft's C++, which now has

Yes. In fact that is how I'm intending to target the CLR and JVM in my own environment -- whether I successfully implement the ability to use Factor (the language) inside my platform or not. I was envisioning something like a combination of direct byte code generation (either MSIL or JVM
