Factor's FFI library is called alien. It works by linking do a dynamically linked library (.dll, .so or .dylib) at runtime, allowing the user to be free of writing, generating or otherwise messing with C code. Currently, alien only supports interfacing with C. Elie Chaftari wrote a good introduction to Factor's FFI.
