===8<==============Original message text===============
Fare may remember this, but I noticed in the early mail archives
which I scour from time to time that one of the proposed names for
TUNES was Joy instead, and since the newly developing language Joy
fits a *lot* of TUNES' requirements for HLL- (though not enough from
my perspective), that there's a bit of irony here. :)
See http://lists.tunes.org/archives/tunes/1994-December/000287.html
and several other posts from that month in the same thread(s). By the
next month, the name had solidified, and I think that Fare was a big
contributor to that.
Just interesting.
