#4Great movement from the community to show some love to FP. I really like Clojure, and will give Hy a try as well.
FP really forces you to write better code and somehow your thinking starts to change slowly. What I realised is that after I started to write Clojure, I am writing much more functions in Python as well. If you haven't tried yet, give FP some chance.

thanks for the share. It's hilarious!

This doesn't make Python any more functional, all it does is change the syntax.

I just want to note that Lisp does not really imply functional programming. Hy is nothing more then Python with Lisp syntax and the awesomesauce that comes from Lisp as macros and reader macros.

#8Most of the programming language Y to language Z requires the user to know more Z than Y. Kind of losing the point there.
Everything's not only about making points, but still...

Python is already functional enough, it's the brain behind the keyboard wasn't that much functional before ( that was me )
