Here's an item that is related but far more edifying.

http://norvig.com/lispy.html

I looked at the Hy documentation, and it appears that
Hy hardly implements lisp.  It alters the surface syntax
of python to parenthesized prefix, and tosses in a very small subset of 
lisp.

Hy resembles a 3-week project in a computer science compiler class.

There is rarely a good reason to REWRITE parts of Sage in some  language X.

That is why I am concerned when someone proposes to REWRITE parts of Sage
in Python.  

Rewriting pieces that exist in C, C++, Lisp... strikes me as makework 
projects
that likely result in slow partial broken versions of working code.
