Great to see an article related to Joy!<p>If you do not know Joy and want to check it out, you will notice that the link in this page is broken.

Thank you for sharing this. I found it a surprisingly good introduction to combinators in general. Reading it also set off a lot of resonances in my brain with formal, Hilbert-style logic systems and attempting to find minimal collections of axioms.<p>Was recently blown away to find out that propositional logic can be whittled down to just modus ponens and the single axiom:<p><pre><code> ((((p -&gt; q) -&gt; (~r -&gt; ~s)) -&gt; r) -&gt; t) -&gt; ((t -&gt; p) -&gt; (s -&gt; p)) </code></pre> Anyway, I&#x27;ve been wanting to check out concatenative programming for a while now, anyway. This website [0] is a pretty darn good resource for anyone similarly interested.<p>I would love to combine the above with my interest in rich type systems. Anyone aware of anything that, in spirit, marries Haskell and Factor?<p>[0]:<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;concatenative.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;concatenative.org&#x2F;</a>
