Hy slower than Python? It shouldn't be, at least at run-time. I maintain Hy. If you notice any meaningful performance differences, that's a bug.

I'm guessing what might really be happening is that functional code can be slow in Python. And Hy tends to encourage functional code where vanilla Python mostly discourages it.
