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 built-in support for 
generating MSIL, while still remaining completely viable on a native code 
platform.  Such a capability for Factor (with the ability to generate JVM byte 
code as well) would allow Factor to act as a DSL layer above real-world code 
bases that organizations are always going to be using for a significant portion 
of their development.
