Hi,
After spending a couple of days with Factor a couple of (probably
silly) questions come to mind:
- Why does it use getters and setters instead of explicit words?
(i.e, "my-tuple-field / set-my-tuple-field" instead of "my-tuple-
field get / my-tuple-field set").
How would you write something like this?
: toggle ( addr -- ) dup @ 0= swap ! ;
- Why does it use "-" as the tuple/field separator? (i.e, "stream-
parameters-frequency instead of something like stream-parameters/
frequency). I think using the second form (like REBOL does) would
make sources easier to read (the tuple part is easier to identify).
TIA,
Jorge Acereda
