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.
