Keith,
You are a special case, I have been here for about three months and I am
still confused. I can't tell my left from my right! I may say that the fault
is mine, because I have not given Factor my time . I have tried other
strange languages in the past and I must say that I had the same experience.
However, with the help of materials from blogs, wikis and books I was able
to move beyond a beginner's level. I think that Factor and its documentation
is not the root cause of my problem but my method of learning. I usually
begin a new language by reading its mailing list and learning from there
before buying books and following others blogs. But here I am forced to go
back to C and pick enough skill first before I could digest threads. I know
that high profile languages are segmented into various mailing lists in
order to avoid this type of case I am facing.
I must say learning C is exciting and with time I may give Factor enough
time.
Back to the issue on this thread, it re-echoed what I said when I entered
here.
Regards,
Emeka
