'''Keep''', per my reasoning [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/XMLmosaic&action=historysubmit&diff=413815239&oldid=413775057 here] [[User:Throwaway85|Throwaway85]] ([[User talk:Throwaway85|talk]]) 04:18, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

*'''Keep''': Sources presented by the nominator are more than enough for notability per [[WP:GNG]]. --[[User:Cyclopia|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">Cycl</fontspan><big>o</big><fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">pia</fontspan>]][[User talk:Cyclopia|<fontspan colorstyle="color:red;">^talk</fontspan>]] 11:33, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

* '''Keep''': I'm a software developer and I'm going to argue for its notability in the area of programming languages as opposed to academic interest. I've never used Joy, and only played with Factor (which has Joy as one of its inspirations). I recall hearing about Joy years ago in some discussion on concatenative languages; it's thus been on my (randomly semi-informed programmer) radar for many years. Besides influencing Factor, it also influenced the Cat programming language (http://www.cat-language.com/). The wikipedia article on concatenative languages claims that Joy was the first language to call itself concatenative; I'd say that adds to the notability. This is an area of active interest among programming language designers (http://concatenative.org). I'd say Joy is an influential language in connecting concatenative languages like Forth to functional programming theory.
