The Hy page had way too much syntax, but the Hissp Quick Start didn't have enough? Or not soon enough? One does have to understand the little pieces to make sense of the big ones. You want something in between? Can you point to an example at the right level?

Ctrl+F and try skipping to ";;;; The Basic Macros" section on that quick start page. Is that about the right level?

For many of the "popular" languages, a simple cheat sheet showing the equivalent control structures in a common language might be enough for a typical programmer to get a handle on it quickly. But Lisp is not an Algol-family language. It's different enough that such a document would fail to convey what makes it interesting. There's an inferential gap that must be bridged first, and it's difficult to do that quickly; a programmer mistakenly [expecting a short inferential distance][1] may not have the patience to "get it".
