I'm a fan of FORTH, but absolutely second your motion that Joy is worth investigating. It has a FORTH "feel" but feels like you can more easily do more advanced things with it.

Joy appears even more “write-only” than Forth.

Half the skill in the art of programming is choosing good names, but Joy lacks names for arguments and locals.

Otherwise, it looks interesting. But, I think I’ll stick to lisp.
