Do you love Common Lisp, Racket, Scheme, and/or Clojure, but wish you had a language like that, but with full interop support for Python libraries (in much the same way Clojure has full interop for Java libraries)? If so, you might like Hy. It's not as mature as those other projects, but its support for Python interop is impressive, and by letting you write Lisp-style code, you can make more functional-feeling code and also do things like macros and metaprogramming more easily.
