I am currently (28.5.03) trying to do some deliberate convergence between Joy, Forth and Euphoria, and I may eventually borrow some insights from Oberon to help implement this. Interested readers can follow some progress reports on the Forth newsgroup or the Functional languages newsgroup. (I wonder if this external link trick will work for newsgroups?) PML.

I have just (25.6.03) put some documented work in progress for this project up on a page at my site, [1]. PML.

Why are there two pages for this? Joy_(programming_language) and this one. Since this is older maybe the other one's content should be copied here? -- Dv 06:18, 2004 Aug 2 (UTC)

I've merged Joy (programming language) with Joy programming language now. Angela. 20:11, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

Lambda calculus

Joy is the purest implementation of the lambda calculus as a programming language
Joy is based on composition of functions rather than lambda calculus

So, um, which way is it? Fredrik | talk 20:54, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
