Replace Python @ Work w/ Scheme

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/scheme

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • hissp

    It's Python with a Lissp.

    Don't know how developed it is, but there's also Hissp.

  • libpython-clj

    Python bindings for Clojure

    Clojure also has libpython-clj which seems kind of insane at first glance but sounds like it's meant to cover precisely this kind of "I want to use a lisp but Python has all the libraries" situation.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • hebigo

    蛇語(HEH-bee-go): An indentation-based skin for Hissp.

    As for usability, it would really depend on the use case. While they both have full access to the Python standard library and pretty much everything on PyPI, Hy has more built-in macros. But if you really needed one it wouldn't be too hard to translate it to Hissp. Hissp's docs say it is also compatible with the Hebigo macros, so there are more available with another library.

  • incanter

    Clojure-based, R-like statistical computing and graphics environment for the JVM

    Clojure has Incanter for the data-science stuff.

  • py4cl

    Call python from Common Lisp

    The smoothest experience I've had so far was with Common Lisp and py4cl, if you prefer using Scheme, I can recommend chicken scheme with this library.

  • chicken-pyffi

    Chicken Scheme interface to Python

    The smoothest experience I've had so far was with Common Lisp and py4cl, if you prefer using Scheme, I can recommend chicken scheme with this library.
