Hidden in this Concatenative IRC Log from 6.1.2012 you can find something from Slava, the Factor developer, about its (so Factor, not Slava) future - a few bug fixes for 0.95 he still plans, but then for him the project is basically finished. Too bad, because Factor was always interesting to play around with and one of the more exciting language projects, but in recent times it has become somewhat quiet around it. Now I know why. Whether the community has enough power to continue where he stops is rather questionable given the size of the community - yes, a few people are active and also quite more active than him, but Slava was often the driving force (haha) in the development and integration of new concepts and ideas.

generateDS 2.7b : Python Package Index. A colleague just found this, looks quite interesting - it generates Python class structures from XSD files. Not that something like this is absolutely necessary in Python, but we were just discussing how to generate a Django model from an XSD, this tool could be a starting point.
