That reminds me of this blog [1] which is a BASIC! No, it's a Haskell too [2]!

The latest commit is two years ago, is this language already dead?

Looks fun though.

I suppose targetting bytecode takes a toll. Hy targets Python itself instead.

I'm not sure it's a problem since newer versions of CPython usually introduce only minor updates to bytecode ops.

I wonder, is it fun to use monads without the Hindley-Milner typesystem doing the plumbing behind the scenes?

I love the tone of this page

If everyone else is confused by "a Python", this is a language that compiles to CPython bytecode.

I suppose by that definition, Jython and Iron Python are not Pythons (but PyPy is).

Why so many “run on Python with different syntax” languages?

[monkpit → pyuser583]

Probably to take advantage of the existing Python package ecosystem, if I had to hazard a guess.
