icfpcontest2020/factor repository overview

Guaranteed to work with starterkit-factor⁠. Base image icfpcontest2020/factor:latest built automatically from Dockerfile.base.

Factor⁠ is a concatenative⁠, stack-based programming language (forth like).

The base image is generating by nixery.dev. It uses NixOS⁠ Linux distribution with a purely functional package manager which is the best friend of docker.

Factor compiles and runs packages (vocabularies) like a modern scripting language. There is a deployment tool for generating executable binary, but there are some problems with it. Anyways, the compilation is fast and all batteries are included.
