Pipes and Filters

I recently came across a language called Factor that works very similar, if not identical, to this.

Here's a video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_0QlhYlS8g

I have been using Factor for some time. It has some drawbacks related to readability, but it is a real-time saver.

Compared against what does Factor save time? Python, C, Java?

Also, I've been looking at Factor, but I have a hard time getting into the mindset of the paradigm, since I'm used to Python (although I'm very much used to using pipes in the terminal). Are there any types of programs that you prefer to write in Factor, and others you prefer to write in -- for example -- Python?

That hyphen placement imparts a pleasing ambiguity.
