# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| python3-hylang: python3-hylang (Lisp dialect that's embedded in Python) python3-hylang: python3-hylang: Hy (or "Hylang" for long) is a multi-paradigm general-purpose python3-hylang: programming language in the Lisp family. It's implemented as a kind python3-hylang: of alternative syntax for Python. Compared to Python, Hy offers a python3-hylang: variety of extra features, generalizations, and syntactic python3-hylang: simplifications, as would be expected of a Lisp. Compared to other python3-hylang: Lisps, Hy provides direct access to Python's built-ins and python3-hylang: third-party Python libraries, while allowing you to freely mix python3-hylang: imperative, functional, and object-oriented styles of programming. python3-hylang:
