I don't know if it's Baader-Meinhof or what, but I'm seeing concatenative languages all over the place now. Which is great, because now I'm planning to write my own! My gut says that a concatenative language could be ideal for competitive programming, where you want to quickly apply various transformations to your input and immediately see the result. Here's a talk I watched recently describing some of the neat mathematical properties of concatenative languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IgqJr8jG8M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IgqJr8jG8M

I implement small Forth-likes quite a lot, for instance [0]. I really like having something to explore 70-80s machines (other than Basic), hardware and systems that have no/bad Repls (like Xamarin). This kind of thing is ideal for that as it takes a really short time to implement, gives full and flexible access and it is fast enough to prototype things with.
