Joyce (name)

The name Joyce is a contemporary given-name used for females and rarely used by males. As a family-name, it derived from the Old French Masculine name Josse, which derived from the Latin name Iudocus, the Latinized form of the Breton name Judoc meaning "lord". The name became rare after the 14th century, but later revived as a female given-name, which derived from the Middle English joise meaning "rejoice". 1

Joyce (programming language)

Joyce is a secure, concurrent programming language designed by Per Brinch Hansen in the 1980s. It is based on the sequential language Pascal and the principles of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). It was created to address the shortcomings of CSP to be applied itself as a programming language, and to provide a tool, primarily for teaching, for distributed system implementation.

The language is based around the concept of agents; concurrently executed pocesses that communicate only by the use of channels and message passing. Agents may activate sub-agents dynamically and recursively. The development of Joyce formed the foundation of the language SuperPascal, also developed by Brinch Hansen around 1993.
