.TH hy 1 "2023 Oct 19"
.SH NAME
hy - a Lisp dialect that's embedded in Python
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B hy [<file.hy>]
.SH DESCRIPTION
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.
