Joy is in my TODO list. I have only heard good things about it. I never got into it years ago when I was more interested in concatenative languages (neither I learnt cat, which I think is quite similar). Much more recently, I stumbled upon it again in nsl.com. It seems like Steven Apter found the Joy combinators very interesting and implemented them in other languages.
It looked like a totally dead language to me and this does not help with motivation, but I should definitively check it at some point.
I will have a good look at your project too. It looks like something I may like. It still looks quite far from something I may use at work, but I'd love being wrong about that.
- carapace 7y agonsl.com is pretty amazing, I haven't seen it before, cheers! > It seems like Steven Apter found the Joy combinators very interesting and implemented them in other languages. Yeah. I'm convinced that Joy is somehow important. It has to do with Category Theory maybe, but I'm not a good enough mathematician to say how. Be sure to look at the Prolog implementation in the ./thun subdir. Something that elegant has to be significant, eh? As for using it at work, YMMV. You wouldn't use my project (not yet anyway.) But I think it might makes sense to implement Joy as a library in other languages, like Walker's ATLAST.
