Joy (programming language): Science, Overview & Mathematical purity

The Joy programming language in computer science is a purely functional programming language that was produced by Manfred von Thun of La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. Joy is based on composition of functions rather than lambda calculus. It was inspired by the function-level programming style of John Backus's FP. It has turned out to have many…
