gilch/hissp

Compiles Lisp code to a functional Python subset via syntactic macro metaprogramming, enabling full access to Python libraries and ecosystem while supporting multiple reader syntaxes (Lissp, Hebigo, EDN). The compiler operates on simple Python data structures—tuples for calls, strings for code—with special forms for quote and lambda, plus extensible macro system that rewrite code at compile-time. Generates standalone, reproducible Python output compatible with Python 3.10+ and supports REPL-driven development with integrated macro helpers.
