 Hy <-> Python interop
 =====================
 
-   “Keep in mind we’re not Clojure. We’re not Common Lisp. We’re Homoiconic
-   Python, with extra bits that make sense.” — Hy Style Guide
-
 Despite being a Lisp, Hy aims to be fully compatible with Python. That means
 every Python module or package can be imported in Hy code, and vice versa.

 Hy Style Guide
 ==============

 The Hy style guide intends to be a set of ground rules for the Hyve
 (yes, the Hy community prides itself in appending Hy to everything)
 to write idiomatic Hy code. Hy derives a lot from Clojure & Common
 Lisp, while always maintaining Python interoperability.

-+ Look like a Lisp; do the right thing with it (e.g. dashes turn to underscores).
-+ We're still Python. Most of the internals translate 1:1 to Python internals.
-+ Use Unicode everywhere.
-+ When in doubt, defer to Python.
-+ If you're still unsure, defer to Clojure.
-+ If you're even more unsure, defer to Common Lisp.

-This guide is just a set of community guidelines, and obviously, community
-guidelines do not make sense without an active community.
-As in Python, we expect the style of Hy to be refined over time in practice.
-Contributions are welcome.
-Join us at #hy in freenode, blog about it,
-tweet about it, and most importantly, have fun with Hy.
