Sounds very interesting! Anyone here who uses (or tried) Hy? I'm curious how easy it is to use some arbitrary thing in Python (library, code snippet, etc) in particular.
It's great, for me it's basically Python but better.
Downsides:
- On CPython, the generated Python code tends to be noticeably slower in hot loops than the equivalent "native" Python code. I haven't done any testing with PyPy.
- Can't really use it at work since nobody will know how to read it.
My conclusion is: it's fun, it's Lisp, and it's Python. For personal projects and small standalone tools it's perfect.
I'm (perhaps irresponsibly) mixing some of it inside a medium-sized Python codebase.
The one thing that doesn't work is autodoc/Sphinx. Otherwise it's all there, and quite pleasant to work with given a rainbow-parenthesis extension and Parinfer.
