The '''Joy programming language''' is a purely [[functional programming language]] that was produced by Manfred von Thun of [[Latrobe 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 programming language|Forth]], due less to design than to a sort of parallel evolution and convergence.
