A Lisp Programmer Living in Python-Land: The Hy Programming Language (leanpub.com)

I started using the Hy language (sits on top of Python) last spring. I love using it so I started writing a book on Hy last fall, and released it today.

You can read it online for free. Also, I use the Creative Commons share and share alike no commercial reuse license, so, the book PDF can be shared with friends, people you work with, etc.


Mark, I love all of your work. Well, except your Java stuff, but that was due to my bias against Java! I am going to buy this right away, and see if Hy ticks more boxes for me now. Looking forward to it.


Thanks!
