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.

Why Hy?
This encouraged me to go back and get a two year old small project up to scratch with current Hy:
https://github.com/natrys/ghdl
I definitely had fun writing that in Emacs/hy-mode. And indeed having access to Python ecosystem is neat. However, if I may:
- I didn't get to use any intellisense, which was quite painful. Is there any Language Server for Hy now?
- I think Hy tends to break with every Python minor release, which is a bit annoying. Stable is still broken on 3.10, and alpha is a big change.
- This one might be a matter of subjectivity but I felt that Hy is trying to be more "pythonic" and less "lispy", and I am not sure what to feel about that. For example, familiar things like `&kwargs` or `&optional` seems to have got replaced with something less familiar (particularly, change to `#*` for keyword arguments spurred this though).

How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (In Python)
Not exactly the same (doesn't embed into the source like this did), but I believe Hylang[0] is the best Lisp package available for modern Python.

Sapling: A highly experimental vi-inspired editor where you edit code, not text
Isn't that a bit what hy (https://hylang.org/) tries to do ? AIUI it is a lisp interacting directly with the AST of Python, allowing seamless interop: Python modules can be used from hy and vice versa, everything is transparent.

Hissp
I’ve been keeping loose tabs on this and Hy[1] for a while, but I’ve had some trouble figuring out the major differences between them and the use-cases for either. Would love to see an in-depth comparison in the form of a blog post sometime (though maybe the answer here is to do the research and write one up myself).

Ask HN: Is SICP/HtDP still worth reading in 2023? Any alternatives?
“Python is for scientists. Lisp is for engineers.”
Then what does that make Hy language?

Re Languages with lots of example code and LLM’s
With translators or things like Hy lang, one could get the LLM’s to solve your problem in Python before converting it to another form. Then, you just need a translator. If lacking one, it’s easy to translate by hand.
The practicality of this concept will probably vary by use case. My experiments had GPT doing sketching, implementations, boilerplate, and even porting Python to Rust. A legally-clear LLM trained on multiple languages could probably be fine-tuned to do Python to LISP conversions. If not, Hy might be a stepping stone, too.

Sharing Saturday #469
You could say so: I've been maintaining the compiler since 2016 ;). Infinitesimal Quest 2 + ε (SQ) exists more to advance Hy than for its own sake.
