We have hosted the application hy in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about hy:

Hy is a multi-paradigm general-purpose programming language in the Lisp family. It�s implemented as a kind of alternative syntax for Python. Compared to Python, Hy offers a variety of extra features, generalizations, and syntactic simplifications, as would be expected of a Lisp. Compared to other Lisps, Hy provides direct access to Python�s built-ins and third-party Python libraries, while allowing you to freely mix imperative, functional, and object-oriented styles of programming. The first thing a Python programmer will notice about Hy is that it has Lisp�s traditional parenthesis-heavy prefix syntax in place of Python�s C-like infix syntax. As in other Lisps, the value of a simplistic syntax is that it facilitates Lisp�s signature feature, metaprogramming through macros, which are functions that manipulate code objects at compile-time to produce new code objects, which are then executed as if they had been part of the original code.

Features:

• Hy allows arbitrary computation at compile-time
• Hy also removes Python�s restrictions on mixing expressions and statements
• Allows for more direct and functional code
• In Hy, The with statement returns the value of its last body form
• Hy offers several generalizations to Python�s binary operators
• Operators can be given more than two arguments

Programming Language: Python.
