(For the uninitiated: Slava Pestov created Factor, a modern concatenatvie language which (IIRC) did a lot of innovative stuff regarding optimizations in that domain)

Ha!

Whenever I work on compiling Joy code I have to fight the urge to just write Joy-in-Factor and lean on all that crunchy goodness.

(I wrote Joypy (mentioned in TFA), now Thun (someone took Joypy on PyPI so I renamed it) which includes interpreters in C, Nim, OCaml, and Prolog. I made a few feints at compiling Joy so far, but it's just kid's play compared to Factor. "I am but an egg.")
