Hy was originally a project to show "Hey, see how awesome Python & AST is!". Lisp being an easy choice to implement. Just awesome it have turned into something actually use able and fun to code with.
- anaphor 13y agoOne use for such a thing I can think of is to use it as a reference for teaching basic parsing techniques. E.g. have a project for an undergrad course where they learn how traditional recursive descent parsing works, and then they get to implement an s-expression parser (possibly to a simplified version of the python AST).
