NAME

       hy - a Lisp dialect that's embedded in Python

SYNOPSIS

       hy [<file.hy>]

DESCRIPTION

       Hy  (or "Hylang" for long) 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.

       To get a list of allowable arguments to hy, type
