not a standalone distribution but:

  uvx hy@1.0.0

gets you into the Hy REPL

  echo '(print "hi hn")' > hi.hy
  uvx hy@1.0.0 hi.hy

prints "hi hn"

(context: uv can install and manage python versions)

Generally, uv answers the objection that ‘Python sux’ in that it (1) is correct, unlike pip, and (2) is freaky fast.
