APL
 
In APL, functions are verbs,
and operators are adverbs.
 
“a program intensively using basic operations on arrays is perfectly suitable for superscalar processors in that it allows a very high level of utilization of their pipelined units.”
—  Lastovetsky¹

“From the earliest days of APL the adverbial aspect of functions was achieved by ‘embroidering’ the function symbols with other symbols”
—  Thomson & Polivka²
