A compiler from a lisp-like language to Python, written in Python. lispy is a compiled, statically typed, lexically scoped, and type-inferred LISP-like language. Rather than being based on the more modern and complex dialects of LISP, lispy is based on LISP 1.5. However, it has significant adjustments and deviations from LISP 1.5. This helps the language stay small and manageable, but a lot of the differences also stem from the need to make the language statically typed rather than dynamically typed.
