Tags: Programming Language.

The Joy programming language in computer science is a purely functional programming language that was produced by Manfred von Thun of La Trobe University in Melbourne Australia. Joy is based on composition of functions rather than lambda calculus. It has turned out to have many similarities to Forth due not to design but to a sort of parallel evolution and convergence. It was also inspired by the function-level programming style of Backus’s FP.
