I'm a Hobbesian when it comes to programming languages... Or maybe a
Calvinist. They're ALL flawed. Now and forever. Fixing any problem you
find is a good idea, and there will always be more flaws to fix.

Joy is an experiment, made by an expert in logical programming who
didn't really have a lot of experience with the classical stack
languages, and kept roughly the same after the initial release. It was
genius (if I may say so), and very useful for teaching, but didn't
build on experience and incorporated only a few changes.
