Thanks for your responses William. *snip* > - My positive experiences with concatenative languages have been > programming in Forth, and learning about the others on this list. > (Sorry, I'm not sure how to answer this question.) For this my hopes were for people to express specific examples of how concatenative languages have been helpful for them developing software, or understanding concepts. Sorry for not being more specific. >- I consider a language to be concatenative when it has the following > properties: (shrug) meets the semi-formal definition using > concatenation of source text. Are you referring to the definition we worked on a few months ago on the list? IIRC we had a few definitions floating around, and some contention. Would you mind sharing your favourite one with me? I don't neccessarily want the best one, just the one that best captures the spirit of concatenative languages for you. Or perhaps just elaborate a bit on what about concatenation of source text makes a language concatenative? Feel free to send me private emails if you prefer. - Christopher
