Well FWIW CodeWars has plenty of Factor katas, and I try to gather related resources at https://programming.dev/c/concatenative
I’m trying to keep up with the Perl Weekly Challenges, but with Factor, and am posting some Factor solutions to Exercism’s 48in24 series.
I just grabbed it. The dash cam features might possibly be useful on a bike (?). But I tried and tried and couldn’t find the magic zoom level for it to show me the name of the street I’m on, got frustrated, and uninstalled.
I’m not off Google Maps either, but the closest to replacing it for me is Organic Maps, FWIW.
Thanks, I have, but it’s not a replacement for me. I’ll try it again once a year though.
Some combination of things like performance, non distracting presentation, the minimap, multi cursor that works how I like, some plugins I like, no web browser, the way every open buffer is always safe and saved in some cache without necessarily saving to the edited file, the UX for split view across tabs, minimal fuss to get UI text and colors legible for my bad eyesight, etc.
Sublime Text, Google Photos, Google Maps (partially)
Two books that may be helpful:
I’m more familiar with the former, and think it’s very good, but it may not give you the basic introduction to object oriented programming (classes and all that) you’re looking for; the latter should.
Thanks. I know that’s the case for Nim’s flexibility, but I didn’t think it applied to the pipe operator stuff like in Roc. I’ll do some reading tonight to confirm.
That’s true, but if the transformations have more than one argument, they go after the name
Yup, I understand. That’s why I’ve not put them in the concatenative section.
Also, there are more languages with this feature, for example D, VimScript or Koka.
Thanks, maybe I’ll add them to the sidebar! I hadn’t heard of Koka.
If you have a suggested heading/description to replace “partially concatenative” I’m interested. Function chaining? And I’m not sure but maybe execline is actually concatenative and needs to be moved out of that section.
Exactly. That’s the second link under “Wikipedia Topics” in the sidebar.
I may be expressing it poorly and inaccurately, but what I mean is that in Nim you can re-order arguments and functions to start with some data followed by a series of transformations. The following two lines are equivalent:
parse_int(read_line(stdin))
stdin.read_line().parse_int()
Roc offers a similar flow with their |>
operator. Here’s a snippet from one of my Advent of Code 2022 solutions:
partOne =
"input.txt"
|> getData
|> Task.await \data ->
data
|> getRangePairs
|> List.keepIf pairHasStrictSubset
|> List.len
|> Num.toStr
|> Stdout.line
Factor!
It’s incredible and elegant and defies some common categorization.
I’ve put some of my favorite resources in the sidebar of https://programming.dev/c/concatenative and I’m happy to walk through any particular challenges/examples – I’ve done about the first week of Advent of Code with it this year, and the most recent handful of Perl Weekly Challenges, and some basic Euler problems.
Great! If you get a chance, I’d be interested to hear about your rtx complaints.
I’m not who you asked, and not a user of pkgx, but one of the reasons I prefer rtx (which supports asdf plugins) to asdf is that by default it doesn’t use shims, but updates the PATH instead.
So for example, running which python
will show me a clearly versioned python executable path, rather than a mysterious shim that represents a different realpath at different times.
No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?
And a warning: it’s got telemetry on by default.
I made my account with them early on. I signed up to subscription content to eventually get around to reading, using that address. I signed up for other services, using that address, where access to that address was my only recovery option. I joined IRL community interest groups with that address.
Then I spent a long time without checking it, and they deactivated the account and I’ve lost all data and messages sent there.
And lost my discord account, too. Even though I have the correct discord credentials, discord decided to lock me out unless I can confirm I still have that tuta email address.
I mentioned it in a reply but it deserves its own top-level answer.
So far, this isn’t much of anything.
