Clearer github project description #935

Closed ALSchwalm closed 9 years ago

ALSchwalm commented 9 years ago

Currently, the hy project description is 'ὑμήνπτερόν', which is apparently (ancient?) greek for Hymenoptera from which the project derives its name. I only found this out because when you google that word you can find @paultag mentioning it on twitter. This is more of a riddle than a description of the project. I appreciate that the description also links to hylang.org, but I think something more descriptive would be nice to have (for github search results, etc).

I propose it be changed to something like "A dialect of Lisp that's embedded in Python", taken from http://docs.hylang.org/en/latest/

Fair enough! Thanks!
