What advantages does Erlang have over Factor?
1 comments

I don't know much about Factor, it's a Forth implementation right? Just inspired by Forth?

Either way, the example[0] I was greeted with on the homepage[1] is quite awesome. Does it have an actor implementation like Erlang? How does it handle concurrency?
