Joy Interpreter

joy.joy

This module implements an interpreter for a dialect of Joy that attempts to stay very close to the spirit of Joy but does not precisely match the behaviour of the original version(s) written in C.

joy.joy.joy(stack, expression, dictionary, viewer=None)

Evaluate the Joy expression on the stack.

The basic joy() function is quite straightforward. It iterates through a sequence of terms which are either literals (strings, numbers, sequences) or functions. Literals are put onto the stack and functions are executed.

Parameters:

• stack (quote) – The stack.
• expression (quote) – The expression to evaluate.
• dictionary (dict) – A dict mapping names to Joy functions.
• viewer (function) – Optional viewer function.

joy.joy.repl(stack=(), dictionary=None)

Read-Evaluate-Print Loop

Accept input and run it on the stack, loop.

joy.joy.run(text, stack, dictionary, viewer=None)

Return the stack resulting from running the Joy code text on the stack.
