This didn't seem interesting to me, because there's so many ways to scrape a site, in every high level language, that learning one more way to do it is going to be a diminished return...and I also didn't know that "Factor" was a language.
I honestly didn't know what a "concatenative" language was until I saw that "Six programming paradigms that will change how you think about coding" post that fronted HN last week:
So this is just a long way of saying...after just learning about concatenative languages, I'm really interested in what that paradigm brings to a common task...maybe there aren't productivity gains, but I love learning different philosophies of coding, and thanks to the OP for showing one practical example.
...unfortunately, it appears that the webpage of Joy's author has been lost to the web, so therefore the link to the Internet Archive. And don't forget that there was a very mainstream concatenative language at one point in time: PostScript.
The OP's template could have some more info on what Factor is, but there's a few links, including this wiki for it: http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Learning
