    I've been following Hy for a while and it's sad that macros are still part of on-going discussions with no definite plan. It's one of the reason I prefer Scheme-inspired Lisps to Common Lisp. Hy just looks Lispy but it's no where near Lisp without all the macro system.

    It is more common lispish, therefore, it is awesome!

    Hy looks like fun. On more scheme/lisp derivative on the block. It would be great to see it on IPython.

    Would really like to see some clojure->python dialect. Hy seems more "experimental" which is also great.

    Python is great, Hy is even better \m/

    Have they implemented multiline lambdas?
