pomeon Factor: An impressive stack-based language environment

How Factor compiler is different from something like SBCL? It's interesting because Factor have plans to support ARM/Android/iOS, how hard to achieve these goals? It's interesting because Common Lisp's (SBCL, CCL), Scheme (Chez Scheme), Smalltalk (Pharo, Squeak) also have native compiler's, but no one have iOS/Android support, SBCL also have self-contained executables and ARM port. What are the biggest problems to these projects from having iOS/Android support.
