Hy

What is Hy?

The Hy programming language seamlessly combines the elegance of Lisp with the robust capabilities of Python. As a Lisp dialect embedded within the Python ecosystem, Hy allows developers to leverage the extensive Python library and tooling while enjoying the concise and expressive syntax of Lisp. By transforming Hy's Lisp code into the Python Abstract Syntax Tree, users gain access to the full power and ecosystem of Python, but with the flexibility and iterative nature of a Lisp-style language. This unique integration empowers programmers to explore the synergies between these two influential languages, unlocking new possibilities for code organization, rapid prototyping, and efficient problem-solving
