Yeah, it's probably not the best idea. Looks like someone opened a pull request to fix it: https://github.com/hylang/hy/pull/499

Give me a fucking break, neutering language because somebody somewhere might hypothetically be emotionally damaged by reading it is something that we can save for marketers writing bone-dry press releases. If you don't like that word, then you don't have to say it. Pestering other people for saying it is a joke.
Why don't you go submit pull requests to every single fucking project using the WTFPL license while you are at it?

This doesn't make Python any more functional, all it does is change the syntax.
Python is already functional enough, it's the brain behind the keyboard wasn't that much functional before ( that was me )
Okay, well at least you can add a proper distinction between variable binding and assignment (let vs. set!) if you have macros, but that doesn't really make it more functional, just better.

What does it mean to say that you were "offended" by it? What sort of emotion did it elicit?
It's a word that you don't say, I get that, but how do you make the jump from "I must not say this word" to "I am disturbed in some way when I encounter somebody else who does not share my religious taboo"?
I don't think you actually make that jump, if you reflect on what you actually think and feel about this.
