I've not had as much time as I hoped to work on the Factor concurrency library but I've put what I've done so far in Factor CVS. I've also included it in a darcs archive, which includes a complete Factor CVS snapshot capable of running the code. It can be retrieved with:   darcs get http://factor.modalwebserver.co.nz/factor/ Keep in mind that this is a CVS snapshot and may contain bugs or incomplete features. The concurrency code is in the concurrency directory. A start at some documentation is included. Keep in mind that it's all experimental and the words used are likely to change a lot over time. There is a small limitation in the current CVS Factor whereby a yielding process has a 10 millisecond delay on the yield. Slava has said this will be fixed for the next Factor release so it would pay not to do any timing based benchmarks at the moment. The online Factor browser also has this code loaded for browsing. 1:44:25 PM
