The BSD-like license is used not only in BSD operating systems and these projects like Python, Golang, SBCL with BSD-like license playing nice.

For *BSD - https://bsd.network/

BTW, maybe exists something like to the "Awesome-Mastodon-Instances" for IT? BSD have instance, Ruby have instance, but how about Python, Linux, Computer Graphics, Game Development and so on. :-)

It's mainstream in compiler writing - Hack, Haxe, WebAssembly (Interpreter and Parser), Rust before self-hosting. :-))
Awesome! But why rare to see game development in plain C comparison to the other languages like C++?

If someone is interesting about how to bootstrapping, this[0][1] tutorial is just awesome, tiny compiler from nothing (raw machine codes and hex!) to the self-hosting!

There are some old benchmarks (2010) - http://factor-language.blogspot.com/2010/05/comparing-factor... , in 2018 sure, situation I think is different.

And if anyone is interested in knowing more about Factor, this tutorial is pretty good, from basics to the web development using Furnace (Factor Web Framework) - https://andreaferretti.github.io/factor-tutorial/ :-)
Re:Factor: An impressive stack-based language environment on Saturday August 11, 2018 @09:44AM (#17739638)
How Factor compiler is different from something like SBCL? It's interesting because Factor have plans to support ARM/Android/iOS, how hard to achieve these goals? It's interesting because Common Lisp's (SBCL, CCL), Scheme (Chez Scheme), Smalltalk (Pharo, Squeak) also have native compiler's, but no one have iOS/Android support, SBCL also have self-contained executables and ARM port. What are the biggest problems to these projects from having iOS/Android support.
