- Factor may be re-implemented in Zig for better performance.
- Factor's implementation history includes Java, C, and C++.
- Zig offers features like simplicity, fast execution, and no hidden allocations.
- Performance tests show Zig VM is faster than C++ VM in various scenarios.
- Zig VM has more lines of code but fewer files compared to C++ VM.
- Binary sizes are larger in Zig VM.
- Future steps include improving compatibility and exploring new Factor implementations.
