Hy – A Lisp-flavored Python

I was never any good at math in the first place, order of operations always screwed me up, still does. Order of operations actually makes no sense at all (if you really think about it). So yeah, lisp is easier for me.

Compare to:

1 + 3 + 88 / 2 - 2

Or (1 + 3 + 88) / 2 - 2

Or (1 + 3 + 88) / (2 - 2)

If it comes down to it, I'm going to fully parenthesize the stupid thing anything else is difficult to parse. If I'm using all the parens, prefix is fine.
