On: Hy, a Lisp that compiles to Python

[bcambel]

Python is already functional enough, it's the brain behind the keyboard wasn't that much functional before ( that was me )

[Tuna-Fish → bcambel]

Imho it lacks good types. Python with the clojure collections as default types would be awesome.

[anaphor → bcambel]

Okay, well at least you can add a proper distinction between variable binding and assignment (let vs. set!) if you have macros, but that doesn't really make it more functional, just better.

[emidln → anaphor]

Well, you could implement proper distinction. let and setv both compile to setattr() in the current scope right now.
