  4. I love Hy. I played around with it 3 years ago. Development has been super active since then: https://github.com/hylang/hy Don't know if it's still the case, but the Hy project had the most puns I've seen in one repo. In a good way. Here…

  9. If you're interested in Python and Lisp, Hy ( https://github.com/hylang/hy ) is great. They're welcoming and funny.

  12. For even more fun, checkout hy ( https://github.com/hylang/hy ). It's completely compatible with standard python both ways (ie you can import python from hy and import hy from python), so you can import python-sh and do awesome stuff like:…

  14. https://github.com/hylang/hy/blob/master/docs/contrib/loop.r... I thought this is not possible in python. Can someone explain ? Python doesn't have tail call optimization and hy produces python AST. Am I missing something ? I tried reading…

  15. It dosn't stop there. Why use the decorators directly when you can get Hy on Meth? https://github.com/hylang/hy/blob/master/hy/contrib/meth.hy

  17. Yes thats correct. https://github.com/hylang/hy/blob/dcf29d3d2a147fe66a19971214... Source for those interested. Note that Hy replaces all - in names for _, thus we can have prettier names :)
    comment by Foxboron · 2014-12-04 · in Hy – A dialect of Lisp that’s embedded in Python
  18. I take it you refer to your complaint here: https://github.com/hylang/hy/issues/543 Your problem is with Python, not Hy. Hy inherits the "stupid limitations" of Python, and not even all of those - for example, it does away with the…

  23. Yeah, it's probably not the best idea. Looks like someone opened a pull request to fix it: https://github.com/hylang/hy/pull/499

  28. …with 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3 and pypy. We even added a few steps so we will have support for 3.4! https://github.com/hylang/hy It's a great example of how Python isn't that different from LLVM and JVM!
