Ahh, understood now. I figured postscript as it's also a concatinative programming language.

I read postfix as in the mail server not as a synonym of suffix, thanks for the clarification.

> synonym of suffix

Antonym, actually. Prefixes are literally on the other end of things than suffixes are ;)

He's talking about postfix, not prefix. It's closer to being a synonym of suffic.

Oh shit, true. My mistake. Sorry!
