Factor has lots of influences. For example, the compiler is influenced by SBCL and its predecessor, CMUCL. The interactive environment is also influenced by many previous interactive environments. We talk about the compiler's design and the features and implementation of those, and mention them in the introduction as important features, but we don't have enough room to cite things for them, because we just have 12 pages! Anyway, what you did for the dataflow combinators was nice, but they and fry were not very useful until they were made efficient and until fry was generalized to what it is now. I don't think that the dataflow combinators are the most important part of the paper, but they're essential for understanding code written in Factor, so they must be discussed. For papers, not every contributor can be an author, and some contributors must just be mentioned in the acknowledgments.
I'll try to remove claims that the dataflow combinators are original (this is really just a matter of wording, and deleting that bullet point from the introduction) and resubmit the paper, but I'm not sure whether they'll accept a resubmition. In any case, you're not going to be an author of the paper.
