I'm going to keep the no-slides technique in mind, I think it worked out (surprisingly?) well. Enjoyed the talk!

(As Kyle's always are.) I had looked at Factor a bit previously, and mostly wrote it off as another Forth. But Kyle's presentation got me somewhat excited about it. There are some really nice features in there. And while some of the concepts are significantly different than other languages, the number of concepts is exceedingly small. (Especially when contrasted with Perl 6, which was the other topic of the evening.) But the small number of concepts prove to be a very powerful combination -- very elegant. I think my favorite part of the language is that data flows forward. The presentation was really good. (As Kyle’s always are.)
