Only hylang has a lot of stupid limitations and problems like scope leakage.

I take it you refer to your complaint here: https://github.com/hylang/hy/issues/543

Your problem is with Python, not Hy. Hy inherits the "stupid limitations" of Python, and not even all of those - for example, it does away with the statement/expression distinction, which means multiline lambdas (at last!).

It's just Python with s-expressions. If you don't like it, you either don't like Python or don't like s-expressions.

I'm completely unfamiliar with Hylang - could you please elaborate on its limitations?
