hy(1)

hey bestie!! 💖 welcome to hy(1), the General Commands Manual page for Hy. yes, section 1, no cap. it's lowkey a whole vibe and we're gonna read it together 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

hy - a Lisp dialect that's embedded in Python. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the shape of the call is literally:

hy [<file.hy>]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so Hy (or "Hylang" for long) is a multi-paradigm general-purpose programming language in the Lisp family. it's implemented as a kind of alternative syntax for Python. compared to Python, Hy offers a variety of extra features, generalizations, and syntactic simplifications, as would be expected of a Lisp. compared to other Lisps, Hy provides direct access to Python's built-ins and third-party Python libraries, while allowing you to freely mix imperative, functional, and object-oriented styles of programming. it's giving Lisp energy but make it Python-accessible, fr fr 🦋✨
