Previous to my discovering Clojure, I wrote a small Scheme library to embed concatenative programming inside a Lisp:
http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/eggs/3/stacktor.html I ultimately found that I didn't use it much when I was writing real programs, but it was a good way to learn about concatenative programming without having to leave an environment that I was familiar with. I would say that the (-> ...) macro (and some basic permutations to it) in Clojure handle 90% of what I would have used Stacktor for. At the same time, I do like the cut-n-paste ability of writing new "words" from messing around in the REPL. Lisps are close to as easy, but not quite as straight forward.
