This is a distribution of mp_suggest, an organization tool for MP3
libraries. It was written primarily as an experiment in learning Hy.
Hy is a lisp-like programming language that runs on top of the Python VM
and exploits Python's access to the running AST in order to build
working Python programs.
Writing mp_suggest was an interesting exercise in returning to Lisp
after all these years. I find that I really enjoyed it (although,
honestly, Hy's debugging facilities leave a lot to be desired). The
style used inside mp_suggest is most definitely not Lispy; looking
through it, with its persistent use of cheap anonymous functions and
closures and its function-level metaprogramming, I guess the best
language I could compare it to is Coffeescript. I like Coffeescript a
lot, but I don't get many opportunities to use it professionally, but
the sensibilities of Coffeescript (especially Reginald Braithwaite's
Ristrettology and his other books on functional programming) heavily
influenced the design decisions I made in mp_suggest.

The TODO file is empty for a reason. This was mostly an exercise in
writing Hy.
