About Joy

When Joy was first introduced, it won a Best Tool for New Technologies
Finalist Award at Macworld San Francisco, 1998. That was before we added
Java support and a new, Objective-C and JavaScript-compatible syntax.
Version 2.2 takes Joy’s flexibility even further by offering 100% WebScript
compatibility. Its impressive new features make WebObjects and EOF
development easier and more enjoyable than ever before.
