There's even a couple of kernels for IPython/Jupyter. The best I've seen so far is https://github.com/Calysto/calysto_hy https://github.com/Calysto/calysto_hy

I'd like to move to Hy for much more of what I currently do in Python, but so far I've been too lazy to find/create good editor support for it. For actual projects of some size the loss of context help, documentation, various completions, etc seems like too high a price to pay.
- zitterbewegung 9y agoI think the highest cost is really collaboration with others. If you ever want help with your project or if people even want to use it you are dealing with only Hy users and disregarding regular Python users. I do like the concept of Hy though.
- etiam 9y agoIt's restrictive that way, no doubt. On the other hand, I suspect that as subsets go, Hy programmers would be a good one. And I'm not sure the impact on getting people to use it would necessarily be that bad. It's just an extra import hy away to use modules written in Hy just as usual from Python, after all.
