+      The Factor programming language is a concatenative, stack-based
+      programming language with high-level features including dynamic types,
+      extensible syntax, macros, and garbage collection. On a practical side,
+      Factor has a full-featured library, supports many different platforms, and
+      has been extensively documented.
+
+      The implementation is fully compiled for performance, while still
+      supporting interactive development. Factor applications are portable
+      between all common platforms. Factor can deploy stand-alone applications
+      on all platforms. Full source code for the Factor project is available
+      under a BSD license.
