Hi all,
Concatenative languages were always absent from my radar of programming languages, but right now I'd like to give Factor a try. I've been programming (not a lot) with C++, C, Php, Python and Pascal and VB in the past. As C++ is way too complex to me, I'm searching for other alternatives for clustering algorithms purposes. I don't find much about the speed of interpreted or compiled code execution speed of Factor compared to C++. What can I expect for large data arrays? 10x slower? 20x? Any pointers on this? I'm trying to install Factor from source in my Slackware64-14.1 system. ./factor -run=listener is working but ./factor which I suppose should open some kind of gui application is not working. The error: $ ./factor Cannot resolve C library function Symbol: gtk_init Library: f You are probably missing a library or the library path is wrong. See http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Requirements (U) Quotation: [ c-to-factor -> ] Word: c-to-factor (U) Quotation: [ [ catchstack* push ] dip call -> catchstack* pop* ] (O) Word: command-line-startup (O) Method: M\ gtk-ui-backend (with-ui) (U) Quotation: [ OBJ-CURRENT-THREAD special-object error-thread set-global current-continuation -> error-continuation set-global [ original-error set-global ] [ rethrow ] bi ] I've read http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Requirements but the dependencies are shown for Debian-like systems which is not the case. I already installed some packages: rlwrap pangox-compat <-- http://www.pango.org/ gtkglext <-- http://projects.gnome.org/gtkglext/ gdk-pixbuf <-- maybe it's not necessary c++-gtk-utils <-- http://cxx-gtk-utils.sourceforge.net/ libsigc++ <-- http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/ glibmm <-- http://www.gtkmm.org/ cairomm <-- http://cairographics.org/cairomm/ pangomm <-- http://www.gtkmm.org/ atkmm <-- http://www.gtkmm.org/ mm-common <-- http://www.gtkmm.org/ gtkmm <-- http://www.gtkmm.org/ $ locate libc.so.6 /boot/initrd-tree/lib64/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6 What is missing? I'd appreciate some help on this.
