- runevault 17y agoI haven't read the Macro Chapter yet, but I can say the rest has really helped me understand Clojure a bit better, been reading it since the first MEAP hit. And both authors are very open to feedback so if something doesn't make sense or the like don't be afraid to tell them. They seem very dedicated to helping people better understand and use the language with this book.
- fogus 17y agoThe content of the macros section is mostly complete, although there are some tweaks to be done here and there. Of course, if you want to know more about macros we will cover them throughout chapters 8-12 also. However, if you can't wait that long then check out "On Lisp" by pg and "Let over Lambda" by Doug Hoyte. Not only are they the best books on macrology -- they are likely the best possible books on macrology.
- runevault 17y agoYeah I figured the Macro chapter would be at least fairly complete before you guys published it. Just been too tired to dig into such a dense topic, since even with my limited dabbling in scheme and CL before Clojure I never gained any real skill with macros.
