Re: [stack] Survey: Your impressions and thoughts about concatenative languages

I hope people don't begrudge me for failing to answer the survey, but
here's the definition of concatenative languages I thought was fairly
universal: a concatenative programming language was one where
concatenation meant function composition, and programs are written in
terms of function composition rather than direct application to
arguments. That's not a definition for beginners, but users of
concatenative languages can fill in most of the blanks. I think I
missed the definition discussion; what were other definitions?
