There is definitely a 'write-only' angle to concatenative (postfix) languages that rely on a stack. I think this type of language/approach is uniquely well-suited to this use case, though, where the focus is interactive use, plus short programs that are not generally intended for distribution, since you get the most out of the advantages around conciseness, without incurring the costs that come with larger programs.
