Juxtaposition in ML is function application: f x y = f(x,y)

Although you're free to discount ML and its ilk (OCaml, Haskell) as non-mainstream.

This isn't quite the same juxtaposition as math, though. In math you just put single letters next to each other and it's multiplication. But in any programming language enforcing single-letter names would be crazy....
