This is a collection of code examples written in the Hy programming language. The aim of this repository is to help those interested in learning Hy by providing well-documented solutions to common programming problems, demonstrations of the language features, and other cool stuff. As a bit of a disclaimer, I'm no Lisp expert and am far more comfortable writing Python, so I may not be doing things the best way possible, but I hope this can still be useful to programmers coming from a similar background.
- FizzBuzz
- Binary search algorithm
- Quicksort sorting algorithm (simplified and traditional implementations)
- Sierpinski Triangle (requires Pillow/PIL)
- Basics of using classes
- More stuff coming soon
To get a better idea of how code in Hy corresponds to Python code, you can use the provided pythontranslations.hy script to generate equivalent Python programs from all the examples. This works using the same ast.unparse() trick as Hy's built-in hy2py script. Unfortunately as a consequence of this, the generated code will often be poorly formatted, and in some cases (macros particularly) near-unreadable.
