DEPRICATED

There will be no updates upcoming. Now I use Common Lisp and python instead, because Hy has too frequent changes to use for daily tasks. I hope that Hy gets matured and I could go back to Hy someday.

WIP; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

HyCC

HyCC is a static compiler for Hy, can create shared libraries and standalone executables from Hy source files.
The input source file is once translated to C and then compiled to machine code.
You may also get the generated C source code and compile it mannually with any C/C++ compilers.

One of the recommended uses is to compile a Hy module and create a shared library in order to improve its performance.
In most cases, the compiled module runs much faster than Hy as well as Python, so we can say that hycc replaces hyc completely.

Requirements

• hy >= 0.13.0 (or, the latest version on github)
• Cython >= 0.25.2

Installation

$ pip install hycc

Usage

$ hycc --help
usage: hycc [options] module...

options:
  -o <file>  place the output into <file>
  --clang    create c code; do not compile
  --python   create python code; do not compile
  --shared   create shared library
  --version  show program's version number and exit
  --help     show this help and exit

Example

• hello.hy

(defn hello []
  (print "hello"))

(defmain [&rest args]
  (hello))

Create an executable file

$ hycc hello.hy
$ ./hello
hello

Create a shared library

$ hycc hello.hy --shared

You can import this from Hy as well as Python.

(import hello)
(hello.hello)
; > hello

import hello
hello()
# > hello

Note: if you want to import module as a part of package, __init__.py is required instead of --init--.hy.
