Factor was the first language I ever 'played' with and it absolutely ruined me for every thing else (except maybe prolog and apl).

I'm really impressed by Factor. It has a lot of the niceties that I like about Common Lisp, like restarting on errors and the compiled-but-interactive development approach. On top of all of this the development environment is presented as a very cohesive package, including standardized project structuring styles, a documentation system and a UI library.
The last time I tried to learn it I stopped because I found the concatenative syntax even harder to parse than s-exprs when any math was involved. I'm giving it another go now.

Reminds me I need to check on rebol/red and a few others.
Does anyone know if it supports inline assembly?
If you look at https://re.factorcode.org/2015/06/bit-test.html and the vocabularies it links over to I'm sure you'll be better able to figure it out.
