I know that they are unrelated but for whatever reason each time I see Factor I think of Io. I think I heard Slava Pestov is working at Apple but I wonder what’s Steve Dekorte up to these days. It doesn’t seem like Io is under development anymore.

Edit: Dekorte is working on https://strvct.net/

This allows me to write code just like in plain english.no AI needed. I could not do this in Lisp. Writing code is like writing a novel now.Just a story with words.No type system needed to tell a story.

:: sibling ( node g -- sibling ) parent children remove-me first

Get a Node's parent, get the parents children, remove myself ( node ) and get the first child.

Always glad to see Factor in the feed. Would love to see it get a type system though.

I'm not claiming that this is an answer, but it is something:

What, in particular, are you looking for?

Something like enum variants?
