Thun |release| Documentation
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Thun is dialect of Joy written in Python 2.
|
|
|
|
`Joy`_ is a programming language created by Manfred von Thun that is easy to
|
|
use and understand and has many other nice properties. This Python
|
|
package 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. The main difference
|
|
between Thun and the originals, other than being written in Python, is
|
|
that it works by the "Continuation-Passing Style".
|
|
|
|
I hope that this package is useful in the sense that it provides an
|
|
additional joy interpreter (the binary in the archive from La Trobe seems
|
|
to run just fine on my modern Linux machine!) But I also hope that you
|
|
can read and understand the Python code and play with the implementation
|
|
itself.

Information on the Joy language
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
See `the Wikipedia article`_ and `Kevin Albrecht's mirror of Manfred von Thun's original website for the Joy Programming Language`_ for more information on the Joy language.
|
|
|
|
The best source (no pun intended) for learning about Joy is the
|
|
information made available at the website of La Trobe University (see the
|
|
mirror link above) which contains source code for the
|
|
original C interpreter, Joy language source code for various functions,
|
|
and a great deal of fascinating material mostly written by Von Thun on
|
|
Joy and its deeper facets as well as how to program in it and several
|
|
interesting aspects. It's quite a treasure trove.
