Excuse my ignorance but could lisp be considered concatenative?

• cyberbanjo 5y ago
  I don't think so but Factor is a concatenation language with macros and extensible syntax.

  Interesting you ask: there are a fair number of similarities between Forth and Lisp. http://wiki.c2.com/?ForthVsLisp http://wiki.c2.com/?ForthVsLisp

  No, Lisp is applicative. The link splits languages in to applicative vs concatenative. This is straight up Church-Turing. Where Applicative is Church's a program is function application, and Concatenative is Turing's a program is a list of instructions concatenated on an infinite tape.

  Not traditionally, but if viewed as a style, like functional programming, most every language can be used concatenatively.
