Seconded, but I had the same problem with Elixir and Plug/Phoenix. It looks like the communities of new languages with macros need some time to mature and settle on some kind of style guide for when and how to use them. In all the Lisps I know - Clojure, Common Lisp, Emacs Lisp, Scheme, Racket - the use of (new) macros is discouraged for the most part (at least on the surface, I'm not counting using `loop` in CL or `for` in Racket). It will get much better with time, I think, but I guess there is some truth to people saying that including macros in the language can be "dangerous" :)
