: Might [http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Front%20Page this] help? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 16:25, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 
:: So, for example.. J is "almost a concatenative language". It has two major departures from the [http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Concatenative%20language fundamentals] currently described at concatenative.org: J is right to left, instead of left to right. And, composing J code requires something more than whitespace. You need <code>[: code1 code2</code> instead of just <code>code1 code2</code>. And, thus, you can get statements like <code>[: a [: b [: c [: d e</code>. (A related issue is that many of the operations which would be useful on a stack might be of the form <code>(, code)</code>. So... it's just over the edge of being a concatenative language... I think. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 11:51, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
