macropy VS hissp

https://github.com/lihaoyi/macropy. It's harder to use than Lisp macros though. Besides eval/exec, which allow string metaprogramming, an AST manipulation module is in the standard library, but it's even harder to work with than macropy.

You keep pretending that I and other people are saying that by learning a language you magically pick up these concepts, but literally nobody here is saying that. I'm glad that you love macros so much, but they can certainly be implemented in other languages, for just one example.

Hissp is a Python library that can compile a whole program into one Python expression.

If you want Python to be as customizable as Lissp, check out Hissp (and Hebigo).

Hissp is really cool for metaprogramming Python. There's also macropy, but it's harder to use.

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)

No shortage of options, e.g. Dg, Mochi, Coconut, and Hebigo (based on Hissp[1]).

If you want Lisp metaprogramming plus Python ecosystem, check out Hissp

Hissp is really interesting. Read through the docs and you'll understand Python more deeply. It works well with Toolz and Pyrsistent.
