This bit covers a bit about Hy's lovable quirks and eccentricities. This bit covers a bit about Hy's lovable quirks and eccentricities.
In a nutshell, Hy is a lisp dialect, but one that converts its
structure into Python (literally a conversion into Python's abstract
syntax tree!). This is pretty cool because it means Hy is several
things:
- A lisp that feels very pythonic
- For lispers, a great way to use lisp's crazy powers but in the wide
world of Python's libraries (why yes, you now can write a Django
application in lisp!)
- For pythonistas, a great way to start exploring lisp, from the
comfort of python!
- For everyone: a fun and comfortable language that just has a lot of
neat ideas!
