People may find articles on k, joy etc. on Stevan Apter's
website to be interesting:
  http://nsl.com/
In particular Stevan Apter's conversation with Manfred von
Thun (designer of the Joy language):
  http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10000350

Excerpt:
  The language Joy is a purely functional programming language.
  Whereas all other functional programming languages are based
  on the application of functions to arguments, Joy is based on
  the composition of functions.
    ...
  The semantics of this notation is summed up by: "The
  concatenation of appropriate programs denotes the composition
  of the functions which the programs denote".
