Re: Factor

I came across a benchmark for comparing languages today. It did not contain a version for Factor, so I thought I would contribute one.

The idea is fairly straightforward, and in the words of the author:

read stdin, tokenize into words
for each word count how often it occurs
output words and counts, sorted in descending order by count

My attempt is below:

USING: arrays assocs kernel io math math.parser 
prettyprint sequences splitting sorting ;

IN: wp

: count-words ( assoc string -- assoc' )
    " " split harvest [ over inc-at ] each ;

: sort-assoc ( assoc -- seq )
    >alist sort-values reverse ;

: print-results ( seq -- )
    [ number>string "    " glue print ] assoc-each ;

: wp ( -- )
    H{ } clone
    [ [ count-words ] each-line ]
    [ sort-assoc print-results ]
    bi drop ;

MAIN: wp

You can run this from factor by putting it in a file called wp.factor and running from the shell:

$ cat file.txt | ./factor -run=wp
