As one of the original contributors to Rouge I will definitely agree that
it does need a lot of work. That being said, if there's interest and pull
requests are submitted the original author or myself typically chime in.
Both of us have been busy with other projects/life and haven't done much
work on it in quite some time.
While Rouge itself is not 100% compatible with Clojure or complete, I
certainly would recommend it over Hy for simple tasks and for the
maintainers understanding of both Clojure and Lisp idioms. As far as I can
tell, the Hy team seems more or less interested in a Pythonic Lisp. There
was a huge debate, for instance, over whether or not 0, [], {}, (), and ""
should be considered truthy in Hy which. If you ask me, that alone is a
reason not to consider it unless, of course, you are looking for that.
Beside the topic, there is a Ruby
library<https://github.com/hamstergem/hamster>that includes implementations of
various persistent data structures. Since
I head about it I thought it would be nice to use those instead of the
`freeze`ing of Ruby's data structures you see in Rouge currently. It would
definitely be worth the effort/discussion and I'm sure Rouge would be open
to that.
