i was reading about factor programming language again to check in on how it has matured over the years, and these Kotlin-Arrow discussions seem to be revisiting the functional elements of concatenative programming but held back by kotlin basic underpinnings. Factor compiles to native, but afaic anything that emits llvm IR is as native as it needs to be. so what are thoughts and dispositions of Arrow-kt as a standalone collection of idioms with Kotlin's coroutines, bindings, and serialization, but a clean seperation from the kotlin grammars via an llvm front-end for Arrow?

sry.. Arrow-kt touches these subject matters.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Register-based_virtual_machines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaprogramming ... Factor is an example of these things also. They both want the same thing, but kotlin is an accidental success with a giant adoption curve. Things like factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_(programming_language) may have some cool features to look at.
