Hello!

This space is for sharing news, experiences, announcements, questions, showcases, etc. regarding concatenative programming concepts and tools.

We'll also take any programming described as:


From Wikipedia:

A concatenative programming language is a point-free computer programming language in which all expressions denote functions, and the juxtaposition of expressions denotes function composition. Concatenative programming replaces function application, which is common in other programming styles, with function composition as the default way to build subroutines.

For example, a sequence of operations in an applicative language like the following:

y = foo(x)
z = bar(y)
w = baz(z)

...is written in a concatenative language as a sequence of functions:

x foo bar baz

Here are a bunch in Factor, taking the easy way when the solution is already in the standard library:

Leap

USING: calendar ;

ALIAS: leap? leap-year?

Reverse String

USING: sequences ;

ALIAS: reverse-string reverse

Raindrops

USING: kernel math.functions math.parser sequences ;

: raindrops ( n -- sound )
  { 3 5 7 } [ dupd divisor? ] map
  [ { "Pling" "Plang" "Plong" } nth "" ? ] map-index
  concat
  [ number>string ] [ nip ] if-empty
;

Roman Numerals

USING: roman ;

ALIAS: roman-numerals >ROMAN

Protein Translation

USING: combinators grouping kernel sequences sequences.extras sets ;
