Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
hissp
- Hissp

2 line tic tac toe
Hissp is a Python library that can compile a whole program into one Python expression.
-
What's the most hilarious use of operator overloading you've seen?
If you want Python to be as customizable as Lissp, check out Hissp (and Hebigo).
-
Pythoneers here, what are some of the best python tricks you guys use when progrmming with python
Hissp is really cool for metaprogramming Python. There's also macropy, but it's harder to use.
-
Lush – Lisp-like language for deep learning designed by Yann LeCun
I prefer https://github.com/gilch/hissp, where Hy has to use shims to pretend statements are expressions, Hissp just targets the expression subset in the first place. (though as you mentioned, hy has a lot of literature and support around it, where as you're going to have to find your own way around hissp)
-
A Python-compatible statically typed language erg-lang/erg
No shortage of options, e.g. Dg, Mochi, Coconut, and Hebigo (based on Hissp[1]).
-
Other than having a wider range of libraries and beingthus being more "general purpose" and "practical" is there anything that makes Python an intrinsically better programming language than Lisp?
If you want Lisp metaprogramming plus Python ecosystem, check out Hissp
- Lisp.py
-
What are some amazing, great python external modules, libraries to explore?
Hissp is really interesting. Read through the docs and you'll understand Python more deeply. It works well with Toolz and Pyrsistent.
- Why Hy?
py4cl
-
Need recommendation for IPC with Go
py4cl and cl4py rely on uiop:launch-program and python's subprocess respectively. These are portable to the extent uiop and subprocess are portable and do not require any additional installation.

Lisp-Stick on a Python
If you want to use Python libs from CL, see py4cl: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl the other way around, calling your efficient CL library from Python: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py/ There might be more CL libraries than you think! https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl (or at least a project sufficiently advanced on your field to join forces ;) )
-
The German School of Lisp (2011)
FYI you can call Python from CL: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl and CL from Python: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py/
If you don't know Emacs, see other editors: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... If you want the more Smalltalk-like experience I'd go with the free LispWorks version: it has many GUI panes that allow to watch and discover the state of the program.
I personally couldn't stay long with Hylang. You won't get CL niceties: more language features, performance, standalone binaries, interactive debugger (all the niceties of an image-based development)…
-
Plotting
I ended up using a fair bit of matplotlib through college and with colleagues. I too don't want to use python, but I also don't like throwing away its libraries, and I'm too lazy to invest in other* plotting ecosystems. In effect, I use up using matplotlib through py4cl/2.
-
numericals - Performance of NumPy with the goodness of Common Lisp
Note that it is not my aim to replace the python ecosystem; I think that is far too lofy a goal to be of any good. My original intention was to interoperate with python through py4cl/2 or the likes, but felt that one needs a Common Lisp library for "small" operations, while "large" operations can be offloaded to python libraries through py4cl/2.
-
Good Lisp libraries for math
If performance is absolutely not a concern, then third option is using python libraries through py4cl/2. To put it differently, if calling python from lisp is not the bottleneck, then this is a feasible option.
-
Why Hy?
I encourage people to try out Common Lisp because, unlike with Hy, you will get: speed, ability to build binaries, truly interactive image-based development (yes, more interactive than ipython), more static type checks, more language features (no closures in Hy last time I checked), language stability… To reach to Python libs, you have https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl My comparison of Python and CL: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/pythonvslisp/

Tutorial Series to learn Common Lisp quickly
> Not sure if such a thing already exists for CL
couple of solutions exist for this
- Calling Python from Common Lisp
-
(define (uwu) (display "nya~\n"))
Ahh, makes sense. Well, if you ever wanna steal some of python's thunder, libpython-clj worked great for me lol. Supposedly py4cl fills a similar role in Common Lisp.
What are some alternatives?
hy - A dialect of Lisp that's embedded in Python
py4cl2 - Call python from Common Lisp
hy-lisp-python - examples for my book "A Lisp Programmer Living in Python-Land: The Hy Programming Language"
magicl - Matrix Algebra proGrams In Common Lisp.
libpython-clj - Python bindings for Clojure
coalton - Coalton is an efficient, statically typed functional programming language that supercharges Common Lisp.
cl-cuda - Cl-cuda is a library to use NVIDIA CUDA in Common Lisp programs.
femtolisp - a lightweight, robust, scheme-like lisp implementation
incanter - Clojure-based, R-like statistical computing and graphics environment for the JVM
