values from (at least) one end.
> In describing Joy I have used the term quotation to describe all of the
above, because I needed a word to describe the arguments to combinators
which fulfill the same role in Joy as lambda abstractions (with
variables) fulfill in the more familiar functional languages. I use the
term list for those quotations whose members are what I call literals:

All these I call literals because their occurrence in code results in
them being pushed onto the stack. But I also call [London Paris] a list.

There is no "Stack" Python class, instead we use the `cons list`_, a
venerable two-tuple recursive sequence datastructure, where the
