Here is a tex solution:
\def\reverse#1{\Reverse#1\end}
\def\Reverse#1#2\end{\def\tmp{#2}\ifx\tmp\empty\else\Reverse#2\end\fi#1}
\reverse{some\ text}
(note the use of '\ ' instead of normal space. Protected space can also
be used)
or
\def\beginr{\catcode\ =\active\Beginr}
\def\Beginr#1#2\endr{\def\tmp{#2}\ifx\tmp\empty\catcode\ =10\else%
\Beginr#2\endr\fi#1}
\beginr some text\endr
