Edit: Factor/Optimizing compiler

Factor's optimizing compiler generates machine code for x86 (32 and 64-bit), as well as PowerPC (32-bit only). The optimizing compiler is written entirely in Factor. Its implementation can be found in %basis/compiler/% and %basis/cpu/%. The optimizing compiler uses [[SSA form]] internally, and performs various optimizations, such as [[Type inference]], [[Escape analysis]], [[Register allocation]], and so on.
