I just stumbled on this wikipedia article:

Seems like D falls under that category?

Not really. UFCS allows the syntax "x.foo.bar.baz", which is
similar to a concatenative syntax, but the existence of "x" in
the expression means it's not purely concatenative.
In a purely concatenative language, "foo bar baz" would produce
a function that pipelines those three functions. "foo.bar.baz"
in D would produce a compiler error.
import std.functional : pipe;
alias allThree = pipe!(foo, bar, baz);
