Concatenative Programming

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

Let me know if I've got any of these misplaced!

Concatenative-ish, Chain-y, Pipe-y, Uniform Function Call Syntax, etc.

Alright, show me I'm not the only one in this community, and show off some solutions!

Here's my Day 1 solution in Factor (minus imports):

spoiler

: get-input ( -- left-list right-list )
  "aoc-2024.01" "input.txt" vocab-file-lines
  [ split-words harvest ] map unzip
  [ [ string>number ] map ] bi@ ;

: part1 ( -- n )
  get-input
  [ sort ] bi@
  [ - abs ] 2map-sum ;

: part2 ( -- n )
  get-input
  histogram
  '[ dup _ at 0 or * ] map-sum ;

Sadly, Factor doesn't get highlighted here, so here it is again as an image:

I probably won't last the week, but what solutions I do have will be up on GitHub.

Some more Factor solutions for the first 3 days (so far) from soweli Niko, on Codeberg.

Day 3

: get-input ( -- corrupted-input )
  "aoc-2024.03" "input.txt" vocab-file-path utf8 file-contents ;

: get-muls ( corrupted-input -- instructions )
  R/ mul\(\d+,\d+\)/ all-matching-subseqs ;

: process-mul ( instruction -- n )
  R/ \d+/ all-matching-subseqs
  [ string>number ] map-product ;

: solve ( corrupted-input -- n )
  get-muls [ process-mul ] map-sum ;

: part1 ( -- n )
  get-input solve ;

: part2 ( -- n )
  get-input
  R/ don't\(\)(.|\n)*?do\(\)/ split concat
  R/ don't\(\)(.|\n)*/ "" re-replace
  solve ;

Day 2:

: get-input ( -- reports )
  "aoc-2024.02" "input.txt" vocab-file-lines
  [ split-words [ string>number ] map ] map ;

: slanted? ( report -- ? )
  { [ [ > ] monotonic? ] [ [ < ] monotonic? ] } || ;

: gradual? ( report -- ? )
  [ - abs 1 3 between? ] monotonic? ;

: safe? ( report -- ? )
  { [ slanted? ] [ gradual? ] } && ;

: part1 ( -- n )
  get-input [ safe? ] count ;

: fuzzy-reports ( report -- reports )
  dup length <iota> [ remove-nth-of ] with map ;

: tolerable? ( report -- ? )
  { [ safe? ] [ fuzzy-reports [ safe? ] any? ] } || ;

: part2 ( -- n )
  get-input [ tolerable? ] count ;
