AndyOPMto Concatenative Programming•lfnoise/sapf: Sound As Pure Form - a Forth-like language for audio synthesis using lazy lists and APL-like auto-mappingEnglish1·3 months agoA bit from the readme appreciating concatenative programming:
The Joy language introduced concatenative functional programming. This generally means a stack based virtual machine, and a program consisting of words which are functions taking an input stack and returning an output stack. The natural syntax that results is postfix. Over a very long time I have come to feel that syntax gets in between me and the power in a language. Postfix is the least syntax possible.
There are several reasons I like the concatenative style of programming:
-
Function composition is concatenation.
-
Pipelining values through functions to get new values is the most natural idiom.
-
Functions are applied from left to right instead of inside out.
-
Support for multiple return values comes for free.
-
No need for operator precedence.
-
Fewer delimiters are required:
- Parentheses are not needed to control operator precedence.
- Semicolons are not needed to separate statements.
- Commas are not needed to separate arguments.
(Note: Sapf is inspired by, but is not purely a concatenative language because it has lexical variables.)
When I am programming interactively, I most often find myself in the situation where I have a value and I want to transform it to something else. The thing to do is apply a function with some parameters. With concatenative programming this is very natural. You string along several words and get a new value.

Andyto Linux@lemmy.ml•[solved] Any multiline zsh compatible shells? [zsh config]English1·4 months agoIt’s been a while, but my clumsy adding of a comment to the buffer is unnecessary, given
zle -M
, which will display a message outside of the buffer. So here’s an updated version:# -- Run input if single line, otherwise insert newline -- # Key: enter # Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198 .zle_accept-except-multiline () { if [[ $BUFFER != *$'\n'* ]] { zle .accept-line return } else { zle .self-insert-unmeta zle -M 'Use alt+enter to submit this multiline input' } } zle -N .zle_accept-except-multiline bindkey '^M' .zle_accept-except-multiline # Enter # -- Run input if multiline, otherwise insert newline -- # Key: alt+enter # Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198 .zle_accept-only-multiline () { if [[ $BUFFER == *$'\n'* ]] { zle .accept-line } else { zle .self-insert-unmeta } } zle -N .zle_accept-only-multiline bindkey '^[^M' .zle_accept-only-multiline # Enter
The given Uiua example (mercifully given using words rather than the symbols):
[3 4 5 10 23] divide length on /+
For all the talk about “forward” it’s uncomfortable to me how the Uiua evaluation within a line happens backward.
An equivalent in Factor, where
keep
is close toon
:{ 3 4 5 10 23 } [ sum ] keep length /
But this pattern of doing two things in sequence to the same item is common enough that
bi
is handy:{ 3 4 5 10 23 } [ sum ] [ length ] bi /
