* '''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.

*'''Keep''' - the sources the nominator has identified are sufficient to establish marginal notability. <span style="border-radius: 3px; padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #808080; font-size: x-small; font-family: Lucida Console, Monaco, monospace">[[User:Thparkth|Thparkth]] ([[User_Talk:Thparkth|talk]])</span> 14:31, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' I just finished reviewing the [[Cat (programming language)]] AfD and have recommended that Cat be merged into the [[Joy (programming language)]] article.&nbsp; The Cat article has sources that are not currently in the Joy article and that support the notability of Joy.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating|talk]]) 07:27, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
