Hy is a dialect of the Lisp programming language designed to interact with Python by translating s-expressions into Python's abstract syntax tree (AST).[1] [2] Hy was introduced at Python Conference (PyCon) 2013 by Paul Tagliamonte.[3] Lisp allows operating on code as data (metaprogramming), thus Hy can be used to write domain-specific languages.[4]
Similar to Kawa's and Clojure's mappings onto the Java virtual machine (JVM),[5] [6] Hy is meant to operate as a transparent Lisp front-end for Python.[7] It allows Python libraries, including the standard library, to be imported and accessed alongside Hy code with a compiling [note 1] step where both languages are converted into Python's AST.[note 2] [8] [9] [10]
Example code
[edit ]From the language documentation:[11]
=>(print"Hy!") Hy! =>(defn salutationsnm[name](print(+"Hy "name"!"))) =>(salutationsnm"YourName") HyYourName!
