Either I have (good or bad?) luck or I've got some zeitgeist hunch or something, but first I had a convincing WIP of implementing Ruby in RPython when Topaz went out, and now while I'm working on a Lisp[0] — again in RPython — comes Hy.
Well at least Hy is markedly different, as my goal is not to compile to Python AST/bytecode, but "merely" be implemented in (R)Python (and C for LLVM) with no access to the Python runtime.

- coconutrandom 13y agoLooks great! Just a heads up here for a name clash of another wasp lisp. https://github.com/swdunlop/WaspVM https://github.com/swdunlop/WaspVM
- wilfredhughes 13y agoI think it's natural inclination. There's a basic Scheme implementation in Pypy, and I'm also working on a Lisp using RPython: https://github.com/Wilfred/trifle https://github.com/Wilfred/trifle
- Foxboron 13y agoYou see the wierd signs in the description for hy? Its actually a wierd way of spelling Hymenoptera! So, that further confirms your zeitgeist hunch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenoptera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenoptera
