wow, Joy is really neat. i don't know how useful it could really be in general 
purpose programming (although i'm sure it is Turing Complete) but none the 
less it is a lot of fun. really this is the first language i've seen in ages 
that is as profound/fundemental as lisp and prolog. very cool. thank you.

if i find the time i may just play with implementing a Ruby version myself, 
unless of course you take it on first.
