Why not just Clojure?

Does it have a tail-call->loop strategy? cpython, like JVM, doesn't have TCO.

Hey there, hy author here - the issue is TCO requires (basically) a GOTO like command, the Python AST doesn't have this -- which is depressing, yes.

I'd love ideas on doing TCO, but I don't think it's easily doable with a traditional method of implementing TCO

I wrote something similar to hy once before but never finished--was called ruse. I solved the TCO problem with trampolines.
