I feel like there's a joke in here somewhere about a backwards Forth dialect, but this also reminds of of chaining idioms used in other languages.

Currying with OOP:

  res = x
    .mult(2)
    .add(1)
    .sub(3)
    .mod(x)

Currying with assignment operators:

  res = x
  res *= 2
  res += 1
  res -= 3
  res %= x

Naming things instead of Currying:

  scale = 2
  offset = 1 - 3
  with_scale = x * scale
  with_offset = with_scale + offset
  result = with_offset % x

Or aping that in Scheme:

  (let* ((scale 2)
         (offset (- 1 3))
         (with_scale (* x scale))
         (with_offset (+ with_scale offset)))
       (remainder with_offset x))
