From 43c180d954eb9ae25c7a4d5d86dc1a4edf4c123c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zirak Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 22:24:28 +0000 Subject: Update hy.html.markdown Added some more recent hy changes (class syntax, `cut` instead of slice), as well as some missing operators (`->` and `->>`) and function declarations (using `&rest` and `&kwargs` along with `apply`). Also changed the code block syntax to hy since github recognises it. --- hy.html.markdown | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 40 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'hy.html.markdown') diff --git a/hy.html.markdown b/hy.html.markdown index 9beaff0c..039312db 100644 --- a/hy.html.markdown +++ b/hy.html.markdown @@ -3,15 +3,16 @@ language: hy filename: learnhy.hy contributors: - ["Abhishek L", "http://twitter.com/abhishekl"] + - ["Zirak", "http://zirak.me"] --- Hy is a lisp dialect built on top of python.
