Factor Language Blog

Eduardo Cavazos submitted a patch which adds a contrib/emacs.factor module with an emacs word, so you can jump to definitions in a running emacs instance:

\ reverse emacs
{ editor draw-gadget* } emacs

Eduardo also improved the factor.el emacs mode, adding keyword highlighting.

If the emacs integration keeps improving and gains SLIME-like features, I’ll probably switch over. I’m getting sick of maintaining the jEdit Factor plugin – the codebase is a mess (it descends from JFactor) and it feels like a waste of time since eventually Factor will have a structure editor in the image anyway.
