Very confusing as just have another Joy web framework. For this kind of new language, one may have to have a kind of FAQ for the reason why it exists at all.

  The language is 19 years old, it's not new.

  > Why not just FORTH? Joy comes from a totally different background, and has a very unique set of features. The fact that a purely functional point-free programming language finished looked quite similar to Forth in some aspects was just an accident (a happy accident, imo).

  Though there too much fatigue from trying to give mind space for new languages popping up almost every day, but this seems an older language. While I am not going to try it out, I can give you some ideas like : "The concatenation of two programs denotes the composition of the functions denoted by the two programs."

  As one might expect, ‘Joy’ is a popular name. IIRC the Crystal language was also initially named Joy.
