Hello. I just noticed an announcement for the International
Conference on Functional Programming contest in comp.lang.oberon.
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/icfp/
The challenge this year is to implement a functional ray tracing
language (named GML). The syntax for this language is Forth-like,
but more precisely it seems quit Joy-like to me. I guess I have two
questions.
1) Would you consider GML to be concatenive programming language?
2) What do you think it would take to implement GML in Joy?
I suppose the most challenging part would be the graphical output
itself. But then the contest does allow for writing to a .PPM
(portable pixel map) file. It may be a little late to actually
finish this in time for the contest, but it would still be a
fun project.
