IVY
     
        A language with a more pleasant syntax than {Perl}, {tcl} or
        {Lisp}.  It has nice features like low punctuation count,
        blocks indicated by indentation, and similarity to normal
        procedural languages.  This language started out as an idea
        for an extension language for the editor {JOE}.
