py4cl

If you want to use Python libs from CL, see py4cl: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl the other way around, calling your efficient CL library from Python: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py/ There might be more CL libraries than you think! https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl (or at least a project sufficiently advanced on your field to join forces ;) )

FYI you can call Python from CL: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl and CL from Python: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py/ If you don't know Emacs, see other editors: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/editor-support.ht... If you want the more Smalltalk-like experience I'd go with the free LispWorks version: it has many GUI panes that allow to watch and discover the state of the program. I personally couldn't stay long with Hylang. You won't get CL niceties: more language features, performance, standalone binaries, interactive debugger (all the niceties of an image-based development)…

I encourage people to try out Common Lisp because, unlike with Hy, you will get: speed, ability to build binaries, truly interactive image-based development (yes, more interactive than ipython), more static type checks, more language features (no closures in Hy last time I checked), language stability… To reach to Python libs, you have https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl My comparison of Python and CL: https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/pythonvslisp/

> Not sure if such a thing already exists for CL couple of solutions exist for this https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl https://github.com/pinterface/burgled-batteries

What's magical is the very much interactive, image-based development, type warnings at compile time (function per function with a keystroke), speed, building binaries, stability… Python doesn't have that :/ (https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl/ to use python libs from CL!)

for escape hatches, see cl4py: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py/ and the other way around, calling Python from CL: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl/

or do the reverse, call Python from Lisp: https://github.com/bendudson/py4cl or call Lisp from Python: https://github.com/marcoheisig/cl4py (or if it's because of Numpy, see NumCL https://numcl.github.io/numcl/) in my taste Hy lacks a good lot of Lisp advantages… no closures with "let" by default, no image-based development and the excellent Lisp REPL, no Lisp's interactivity (in Hy or Python a process must restart after a code change, whereas in Lisp you compile one function with a keystroke and voilà, it's here to test), no Lisp's efficiency, no Lisp object system, etc. https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/pythonvslisp/
