Hello!

This space is for sharing news, experiences, announcements, questions, showcases, etc. regarding concatenative programming concepts and tools.

We'll also take any programming described as:


From Wikipedia:

A concatenative programming language is a point-free computer programming language in which all expressions denote functions, and the juxtaposition of expressions denotes function composition. Concatenative programming replaces function application, which is common in other programming styles, with function composition as the default way to build subroutines.

For example, a sequence of operations in an applicative language like the following:

y = foo(x)
z = bar(y)
w = baz(z)

...is written in a concatenative language as a sequence of functions:

x foo bar baz

From the STOMP homepage:

What is it?

STOMP is the Simple (or Streaming) Text Orientated Messaging Protocol.

STOMP provides an interoperable wire format so that STOMP clients can communicate with any STOMP message broker to provide easy and widespread messaging interoperability among many languages, platforms and brokers.

Simple Design

STOMP is a very simple and easy to implement protocol, coming from the HTTP school of design; the server side may be hard to implement well, but it is very easy to write a client to get yourself connected. For example you can use Telnet to login to any STOMP broker and interact with it!

From John's blog post:

In the interest of learning Factor, I thought I would write a bit about parsing the STOMP protocol, and then about how to implement a client library using connection-oriented networking, interacting with it using mailboxes, and then building a command-line interface using the command-loop vocabulary.

There are many STOMP servers and clients available in different languages. I tried a few and decided that Apache ActiveMQ was one of the most convenient to setup and reliable to work with, but others are available as well.
