i'll ask you the same questions i asked the parenjs author, and which i think are pretty much faqs if you're developing a language-hosted lisp dialect. (some of them, like the interop ones, are answered in the hy docs, but it would be nice to have a quick up-front list for reference).

* lisp-1 or lisp-2?

* scoping rules?

* 1-way or 2-way python interop?

* lisp support for python objects?

* any support for tco or loop/recur?

* reader macros?

* speed penalty relative to native python?
