There are a number of those. See https://www.reddit.com/r/whitespaceLisp for a more complete list.

I'm not suggesting anyone stop writing tests. Rather I was referring to tools like Cider, which provide intellisense-like features by analyzing runtime state without static analysis: https://docs.cider.mx/cider/usa

In that case, would the Hissp README https://github.com/gilch/hissp#readme be an appropriate introductory article in your view? It opens with some small examples and concludes with some design philosophy.

Here's another way to do it: >>> def foo(): ... import __main__ ... a = __main__.a ... print(a) ... >>> foo() 1

The Hy page had way too much syntax, but the Hissp Quick Start didn't have enough? Or not soon enough? One does have to understand the little pieces to make sense of the big ones. You want something in between? Can you point to an exam

Python expressions are accessible in [Hissp][1]. In [readerless mode][2], you're writing in Python anyway, so it's trivial. In [Lissp][3], you can inject Python code strings with `.#`. In [Hebigo][4], you just put parentheses arou

Static analysis becomes less important in a language with a REPL and dynamic reloading. Analyze the code by running it and inspecting the results.

Python has pre-emptive threading too! The GIL makes it all but useless for CPU-bound tasks, but it works fine for IO. Keep your health-check tasks in a non-IO thread and communicate with queues.

Even indenting properly goes a long way: (/ (+ (- b) (sqrt (- (* b b) (* 4 (* a c)))) (* 2 a)) The trick is that a trail of any number of `)`'s should also end the line. Like any langua

Hissp is an alternative approach. Unlike Hy, which compiles to Python AST, Hissp compiles to Python, so it doesn't break with every Python release. Its read language (Lissp) doesn't have an Emacs mode (yet), but its syntax is so c

Not Intellisense, but there is jedhy: https://github.com/ekaschalk/jedhy which can do completions. Last Hy version verified working for: Hy 0.16.0

It works if you disambiguate your namespaces: >>> a = 1 >>> def foo(): ... a = globals()['a'] ... print(a) ... >>> foo() 1 Still yuck?

You can still use `global` though.

Equivalent in Common Lisp: * (let ((a 1)) (defun foo () (setq a 2)) (foo) (print a)) 2 2

I wonder if Hissp would be more to your taste? https://github.com/gilch/hissp

Have you tried Hissp yet?

No closures? Hasn't it always had them?

You only need the parens when the arity can vary . It doesn't have to be binary. Red and REBOL are prefix languages like Lisp, but without the parentheses, and their calls can have more than 2 arguments. You do have to know the arity

You might like [Hissp's][1] import system. It does compile down to Python. [1]: https://github.com/gilch/hissp

Read the [Hissp][1] tutorials (find the docs). It shouldn't take a Python dev too long. It will deepen your Python knowledge and give you a gentler introduction to the world of Lisp because it uses the familiar Python vocabulary with L

I think LoL is too CL-specific. If you know both languages first, you can pretty much translate, but since they'd be trying to learn Lisp in the first place, this is a bad idea. On the other hand, [Hissp][1] has a pretty good tutorial

That's really not true either. The lambda parameters are locals [a]. A let-binding is just a lambda that you call immediately. You can use defaults so the value doesn't have to appear as an argument [b]. Also, Python has assignmen

Cacao. Theobromine is a stimulant, but has milder side effects than caffeine. YMMV.

Where is the "no multi-line lambdas" myth coming from? I see this one a lot and its wrong. Python's lambdas can have as many lines as you want. Did you mean to say that lambda expressions can't contain statements? But no

Hy actually compiles directly to Python AST, not to Python. For a Lisp that compiles to Python, see Hissp: https://github.com/gilch/hissp
