One thing I remember from trying it about 2 years ago, was that its syntax conventions etc was similar to clojure but different in some aspects, made it a bit of a chore for someone used to Clojure to keep track of the differences while using Hy.

Sorry about that. I was an early contributor and a Common Lisp programmer in my spare time when I worked on the early iterations of Hy.

I think it's been mostly papered over now but you still have the :keyword named parameter.
