This doesn't appear to be a term with significant usage outside of wikipedia, and also is very poorly defined here. Should this be deleted?

Assuming there are no issues, I'll go ahead and switch the article to the new version.
==Incomprehensible==
I'm university level CompSci engineer, but don't understand this article because the terms are not back-referenced. For example "terms" is meaningless without either back-referencing the term "term" to one other programming or mathematical paradigm, such as logic programming or imperative. The article just seems to mumble its mind without any listeners. I think it is not understandable to anyone except anyone that already knows all about the topic. The terms must be better founded into a context. [[User:Rursus|Rursus]] dixit. ([[User talk:Rursus|<span style="color: red; background: #FFFF80"><sup>m</sup><u>bork<sup>3</sup></u></span>]]!) 15:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
: I've attempted to clarify things somewhat by explaining concatenative languages as the subset of point-free languages in which concatenation of expressions (which should be clearer than "terms") denotes function composition. If you do not think this improves things sufficiently, please reinstate the technical notice. [[User:John Nowak|John Nowak]] ([[User talk:John Nowak|talk]]) 03:10, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
== Function-level programming ==
How does concatenative programming compare to Backus-style [[function-level programming]]? They both emphasize the [[point-free style]], so what is the difference? —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 15:08, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
: AFAIK:
: [[tacit programming|point-free]] [[complement (set theory)#relative_complement|\]] [[concatenative programming language|concatenative]]=[[tacit programming|point-free]] with [[order of operations]] (eg [[Haskell (programming language)|Haskell]])
: [[concatenative programming language|concatenative]] [[complement (set theory)#relative_complement|\]] [[tacit programming|point-free]]=[[concatenative programming language|concatenative]] with [[anonymous function|λ-abstraction]] (eg [[concatenative programming language#cite note-9|Enchilada]],[[concatenative programming language#cite note-8|XY]])
: [[function-level programming|function-level]] [[complement (set theory)#relative_complement|\]] [[concatenative programming language|concatenative]]=[[function-level programming|function-level]] with [[order of operations]](eg [[FP (programming_language)|FP]],[[FL (programming_language)|FL]],[[FPr (programming_language)|FPr]],[[j (programming_language)|J]])
: [[concatenative programming language|concatenative]] [[complement (set theory)#relative_complement|\]] [[function-level programming|function-level]]=[[concatenative programming language|concatenative]], not [[tacit programming|point-free]] (eg [[concatenative programming language#cite note-9|Enchilada]],[[concatenative programming language#cite note-8|XY]]) or without [[higher-order function|higher-order functions]] (eg [[forth (programming language)|Forth]])
: [[concatenative programming language|concatenative]] [[intersection (set theory)|∩]] [[tacit programming|point-free]]=[[stack-oriented programming language|stack-oriented]] (eg [[forth (programming language)|Forth]],[[cat (programming language)|Cat]],[[joy (programming language)|Joy]])
: [[tacit programming|point-free]] [[intersection (set theory)|∩]] [[functional programming|functional]]=[[function-level programming|function-level]]
: [[concatenative programming language|concatenative]] [[intersection (set theory)|∩]] [[function-level programming|function-level]]=[[stack-oriented programming language|stack-oriented]] with [[higher-order function|higher-order functions]] (eg [[cat (programming language)|Cat]],[[joy (programming language)|Joy]])
: If this is right, the article (after expliciting the relationship) should be cleaned to not hold examples of [[stack-oriented programming language|stack-oriented]] languages. -[[Special:Contributions/189.26.152.54|189.26.152.54]] ([[User talk:189.26.152.54|talk]]) 14:17, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
