emacs mode?

Has anyone written an emacs mode for Joy?
I'd love to see something like the Python or Haskell modes.

thanks,

If you only want to identify primitive keywords and not user
definitions this is easy to write. I hacked an old Forth mode for Joy
to give nice indentation, bracket matching and some syntax colouring.
Ideally some support for interactive use would also be provided. I
don't have this to hand just now and as I'm not an Elisp programmer
never got it polished up or in a distributable state.

If the prospect of writing your own Elisp is even more horrific than
using my hack then I can look it out and send it to you.

Regards,

Nick.

No emacs mode for Joy, as far as I am aware. But since the
notation is so similar to Lisp/Scheme, it should not be too
difficult to modify an existing one. Although I do not use
emacs myself, please let us know how if you write such a thing.
