It's implemented as a kind of +alternative syntax for Python. Compared to Python, Hy offers a variety +of extra features, generalizations, and syntactic simplifications, as +would be expected of a Lisp. Compared to other Lisps, Hy provides direct +access to Python's built-ins and third-party Python libraries, while +allowing you to freely mix imperative, functional, and object-oriented +styles of programming. + |
