I find that S-expressions are the best syntax for programming languages. And in general infix operators are inferior to either prefix or postfix notation.
Thanks, i hadn’t heard oft Factor before, it looks interesting. I’m more of a LISP and FP Person but always wanted to properly learn a stack based language, Factor seems like a nice alternative to Forth for that purpose.
I never understood how concatenative programmers can hold the current state of the stack in their head and never get confused about what is where, especially when changing complex code.

In case you haven’t heard, Factor just had a new stable release, and is tons of fun for postfix enthusiasts.

100%! It was mind-blowing to realize lisps are actually syntactically simpler than all the non-lisps so popular today
Takes a bit of love from editor standpoint unfortunately, so most devs will just never attempt that hurdle
