The latest commit is two years ago, is this language already dead?

Looks fun though.

    I suppose targetting bytecode takes a toll. Hy targets Python itself instead.

      I'm not sure it's a problem since newer versions of CPython usually introduce only minor updates to bytecode ops.

    I wonder, is it fun to use monads without the Hindley-Milner typesystem doing the plumbing behind the scenes?

If everyone else is confused by "a Python", this is a language that compiles to CPython bytecode.

I suppose by that definition, Jython and Iron Python are not Pythons (but PyPy is).

Why so many “run on Python with different syntax” languages?

    Probably to take advantage of the existing Python package ecosystem, if I had to hazard a guess.
