I don't understand what you mean by more flexible input syntax? Lisp hardly has any syntax to begin with; it's one of my favorite things about the language. (If that's a problem for a particular usecase, the aforementioned read time macros can change that.)
Regarding giving the macro body access to the types, that's because Nim is statically typed. I'm sure Lisp would do the same if it were as well, but it's (mostly) dynamic and that's life.
