==Implementations==

The first concatenative programming language was [[Forth (programming language)|Forth]], although [[Joy (programming language)|Joy]] was the first language to call itself concatenative. Other concatenative languages are [[Cat (programming language)|Cat]], [[Enchilada (programming language)|Enchilada]], [[Factor (programming language)|Factor]], [[Onyx (programming language)|Onyx]], [[PostScript]], [[RPL (programming language)|RPL]], [[Staapl]], [[Trith (programming language)|Trith]] and, [[XY (programming language)|XY]], and [[Om (programming language)|Om]].

Most existing concatenative languages are [[stack-based]]; this is not a requirement and other models have been proposed.<ref>[http://www.nsl.com/k/xy/xy.htm The Concatenative Language XY]</ref><ref>[http://www.enchiladacode.nl/ The Enchilada Programming Language]</ref><ref>[http://www.om-language.org/ The Om Programming Language]</ref> Concatenative languages are currently used for [[embedded systems|embedded]], [[Application software|desktop]], and [[web programming]], as [[target language]]s, and for research purposes.

Most concatenative languages are [[dynamically typed]]. One exception is the [[statically typed]] Cat language.<ref>[http://www.cat-language.com/manual.html Cat Specification]</ref>
