What does /prague think of Hy?

Decent syntax for Python. Best of both worlds?

http://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/index.html

Also looks more straightforward to use than anything I've seen for JS, but it lacks TCO for functions and you need to use loop/recur.

(Seriouse thread, genuinely want to know.)

Lisp is about homoiconicity, multiparadigm programming, dynamic typing, simplicity and linked lists. Am I missing something?

Hy is homoiconic, multiparadigm, dynamically typed and reasonably simple but it also has the power of the (fairly less bullshit than Java's) Python object system. It's just not based on linked lists, a simple data structure that makes implementing simple recursive algorithms simple, but variable-width vectors, a powerful data structure with much more efficient O(1) indexing that allows for much more and can still be iterated rather simply to emulate a linked list. On top of that, it has native syntax for dictionaries, another powerful data structure you can do anything with.

What am I missing?
