* Description
This layer adds support for the Hy language based on Python.

** Features:
- syntax-highlighting
- Auto-completion
- Code Navigation
- Python test runners (see [[file:../python/README.org][python layer]])
- Virtual Environment using [[https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/pyvenv][pyvenv]] and [[https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv][pyenv]]
- Org Babel support

* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =hy= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this file.

To install =hy= globally:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
  pip install hy
#+END_SRC

* Key bindings
** Debug

| Key binding | Description         |
|-------------+---------------------|
| ~SPC m d d~ | insert pdb          |
| ~SPC m d t~ | insert pdb threaded |

** REPL
Start a Hy inferior REPL process with ~SPC m s i~. If =hy= is
available in system executable search paths, =hy= will be used to
launch the shell. You may change your system executable search path
by activating a virtual environment.

Send code to hy REPL commands:
