#6 Michael: Hy: A wonderful dialect of Lisp that's embedded in Python

  • Since Hy transforms its Lisp code into the Python Abstract Syntax Tree, you have the whole beautiful world of Python at your fingertips, in Lisp form!
  • Listener recommended: http://docs.hylang.org/en/latest/
  • You must try: https://try-hy.appspot.com/
  • 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 pleasant language that has a lot of neat ideas!
