Hy: The joke just got pretty serious

(btw, the source is on github)

During the sprints at PyCon in a spare moment after some awesome OpenGov hacking, I ended up doing the unthinkable:

rpython support in Hy.

Yes. That’s right. Lisp —> Python —> C —> x86 instructions.

The thanks here goes to Romain Guillebert - who is a really funny rpythonista and took the time to sit down and help me with this frankly insane idea.

It works, though. I filed a bug on shipping rpython bits from PyPy’s Debian package (hi, tumbleweed!), which should make building this a skitch easier.

Finally, and unrelatedly, I also just got a .hy —> .pyc compiler working (huzzah!) which means no one will ever know we wrote anything in Lisp, ever.

As always, play with the REPL, star the code or have a laugh with it.

Let me know what you hack up!

I’ll post the lightning talk I gave after it’s posted :)

adventures in hy, part III

Over the last few days, I've made some incremental improvements to Hy, but I've been mostly preparing it for a small talk later on this next week. I am, however, already considering a bit of a rewrite -- there is a lot of code sitting in the Hy tree that was intended to use the old "modfaker" method of Python module generation (which sucked) I'm most interested (I think) in bootstrapping Hy in Hy (no small task) and getting macros in early (really really needed), so, dear lazyweb: Has anyone split rpython out of PyPy yet? Are there any sort of docs on this? The idea of rHy is pretty intriguing, I'd like to make it happen. More to come soon (including the slides!)

Hello world!

I have set up this page to have a place to do some blogging. I intend to write some blogs to get some publicity for the [Haskell-Python](http://bitbucket.org/cfbolz/haskell-python) project. Haskell-Python is an attempt to implement Haskell with RPython, to see if purely functional and lazy languages, e.g. Haskell, can benefit from just-in-time compilation. This site is created with [Syte](http://rigoneri.github.com/syte/), but I have added everything except the GitHub page. These can be found as the following branches on [my Syte fork](https://github.com/eventh/syte): * Projects page: [ohloh-integration](http://github.com/eventh/syte/tree/ohloh-integration) * Bitbucket page: [bitbucket](http://github.com/eventh/syte/tree/bitbucket) (merged upstream) * Documents page: [documents](http://github.com/eventh/syte/tree/documents) * About page: [about-page](http://github.com/eventh/syte/tree/about-page) I have modified Syte to enable memcache and serve static content from Amazon S3. In the near future I might write a blog post explaining how you can do so yourself. Any other changes I have made to Syte can be found in the [eventh branch](http://github.com/eventh/syte/tree/eventh).

David Beazley's keynote at PyCon US 2012 about pypy and rpython... probably the coolest thing I have ever seen.
