HY(7)
- AUTHORS
- Paul Tagliamonte
- HISTORY
- Paul Tagliamonte created Hy in 2013 as a Lisp dialect embedded in Python. Hy code is read as Lisp s-expressions and compiled into Python's abstract syntax tree, so it can import any Python module and be imported from Python in turn. It brings Lisp macros and code-as-data to the Python ecosystem. After a long series of 0.x releases, Hy reached version 1.0 in 2024.
- USAGE
- Hy is a niche, hobbyist language with a small community. It is mostly used by Lisp fans who want access to Python's libraries.
