Factor is a general purpose, dynamically typed, stack-based programming language.
The Factor implementation includes a VM together with an extensive library. The VM is written in C and provides basic runtime support and memory management. The library provides building blocks for applications.
Factor is compiled to machine code, therefore it can be used to build stand-alone native applications.
Factor began as a scripting language in a Java game project and quickly grew into a general-purpose language. While this was happening, the limitations of the Java virtual machine were making themselves apparent, and an effort to write a native Factor implementation with a minimal core in C was kicked off.
The native implementation was bootstrapped from Java Factor, and soon thereafter native Factor became the de facto implementation, work on the Java implementation stopped.
