What is hylang?
Hy (alternately, Hylang) is a dialect of the Lisp programming language designed to interoperate with Python by translating expressions into Python's abstract syntax tree (AST). Similar to Clojure's mapping of s-expressions onto the JVM, Hy is meant to operate as a transparent Lisp front end to Python's abstract syntax. Hy also allows for Python libraries (include the standard library) to be imported and accessed alongside Hy code with a compilation step, converting the data structure of both into Python's AST.
How to use this image
Create a Dockerfile in your hylang project.
FROM hylang:0.10.0
COPY . /usr/src/myapp
WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp
CMD [ "hy", "./your-daemon-or-script.hy" ]
Then build and run the docker image.
docker build -t my-hylang-app
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-hylang-app
Run a single hylang script.
For many single file projects, it may not be convenient to write a Dockerfile for your project. In such cases, you can run a hylang script by using the hylang docker image directly.
docker run -it --rm --name my-running-script -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/myapp -w /usr/src/myapp hylang:0.10.0 hy your-daemon-or-script.hy

Contributing
If you want to contribute new features or updates, we are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as possible.
We recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue before starting to code - especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give feedback on your design, and maybe point out if someone else is working on the same thing.
