Status of ARM-Linux?

As I see on "Getting Factor" page, current status of Linux ARM port is
"Untested or outdated". I'm looking forward on getting pretty powerful
ARM-Linux handheld ( http://pandorawiki.org/Pandora ) somwhere in
2008. This leads to important question - what are your plans on
ARM-linux Factor? If there is no perspective of Factor 1.0 in my
pocket, it will be really sad.

Re: Status of ARM-Linux?

Hi Maxim,

Factor will definitely support ARM again at some point.

My current roadmap is roughly the following:

- Finish (in some sense) the new web framework, deploy new  
factorcode.org site with blogs, wiki, pastebin, bug tracker
- Implement multiple dispatch, finish with core language changes by  
June 1st
- Work on the compiler: reduce compile time and adding advanced  
optimizations, and revive the ARM port
- Work on the UI, overhauling it and adding more tools

After the above is done we should be in good shape for Factor 1.0!
