- MaxBarraclough 6y agoI think not, unfortunately. The official git repo hasn't been touched in 2 years. [0] More recently though, a brave functional programming adventurer has been working on a Joy compiler written in Haskell, for what that's worth. [1] I skimmed the 'overview' page [2] and it looks unusual enough that I might give it a more serious go at some point. I'm not especially au fait with functional programming, and have only a basic familiarity with Forth, so it's rather alien. Which is of course the appeal.
