UPDATE (12-Mar-2014):
All sites are back: factorcode, planet-factor, builds.factorcode, and concatenative. Downloads are back. Looks like the sites were moved to a different host (Rackspace?) and quite significantly revamped.
(This can question can be considered closed.)
I've been trying to get a recent Windows binary of the Factor programming language, but it has been confounded by the fact that the factorcode.org website appears to be down.
Unfortunately, all download links seem to point back to it, specifically to builds.factorcode.org.
I don't know how long it's been this way, but it seems not to be the first time... It looks like it's been down since the start of March, and there's noise about this in October, and again in December.
As Factor is open-source, I was hoping that binaries might be mirrored somewhere else. But what used to be on SourceForge appears to have been removed to factorcode.org, and the main GitHub repository for Factor also seems to be hosted on factorcode.org.
How do I obtain binaries? It there perhaps another way?
(P.S.: these related sites are also down: Concatenative.org and Planet Factor.)
I have used Forth a fair amount and recently have been hearing more about Factor. Given that Google seems to have hired Slava Pestov (creator of Factor) and Daniel Ehrenberg (collaborator with Slava on developing Factor), thought I'd see what the buzz is about -- 'kick the tyres' so to speak.
