Line 66 ⟶ 69:
Although the introduction suggests that Joy is the result of an independent convergent evolution, it is common knowledge that stack-based programming languages have a long history, with Forth being an important development (late 60s/early 70s). It's unlikely for a computer scientist (or language developer) to not be aware of Forth and to not have been exposed to other stack-based languages such as Postscript (itself influenced by Forth); especially if developing a language with such striking similarities. Shouldn't the infobox consequently include Forth under "Influenced by"? [[Special:Contributions/76.10.128.192|76.10.128.192]] ([[User talk:76.10.128.192|talk]]) 00:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
== What does the period in the example do? ==
In the example code, {{code|DEFINE square {{=}}{{=}} dup * .}}, it is explained what the {{code|dup}} and {{code|*}} operators do, but it isn't explained what the {{code|.}} does. So, what does it do? This should probably be added to the article. —[[User:Kri|Kri]] ([[User talk:Kri|talk]]) 19:00, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
. outputs the value from the return stack (evaluates the expression and displays the result) and returns a new line in the interpreter, as in Forth <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/75.75.152.187|75.75.152.187]] ([[User talk:75.75.152.187#top|talk]]) 05:18, 27 September 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== External links modified ==
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Joy (programming language)]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=713120645 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.latrobe.edu.au/phimvt/joy/j02maf.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' or '''failed''' to let others know (documentation at {{tlx|Sourcecheck}}).
{{sourcecheck|checked=false}}
Cheers.—[[User:Cyberbot II|<sup style="color:green;font-family:Courier">cyberbot II</sup>]]<small><sub style="margin-left:-14.9ex;color:green;font-family:Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Cyberbot II|<span style="color:green">Talk to my owner</span>]]:Online</sub></small> 01:57, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
== Article should lead with samples from Joy ==
The first two code samples are from languages other than Joy, which does not seem ideal. Visiting this page for the first time and browsing for a sample of the code can give the wrong impression.
It also does seem optimal that these two samples constitute half of all the samples on the page.
