プロジェクトの歴史

The public repository was created in December 2012. Hy's README frames the project with the line that Lisp and Python should love each other, and explains the core technical idea: Hy code becomes Python AST, so Python's ecosystem remains available.

The 1.0.0 announcement in September 2024 described that release as arriving after nearly 12 years of on-and-off development and real-world use. The NEWS file states that Hy follows semantic versioning since 1.0.0, marking a stabilization point after the long 0.x period.

採用の歴史

Hy is distributed through Python packaging and also appears in system package managers such as Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Alpine, and Nix. Its community surfaces include GitHub Discussions, Stack Overflow's `hy` tag, documentation on hylang.org, and a browser console for trying the language.

使われ方

Users run `hy` for a REPL, execute `.hy` programs with `hy myprogram.hy`, translate with `hy2py`, and compile with `hyc`. The homepage examples show Python-equivalent forms for assignment, sorting, functions, context managers, comprehensions, and macros.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

Hy is interesting to package nerds because it is not a separate virtual machine or runtime island. It packages as a Python-hosted language that can import Python modules directly, which makes it easier to install experimentally while still offering Lisp macros and syntax.
