This is... an extraordinary claim. Prolog uses foo(hello, world) syntax (note the comma) and has no problem with macros or any other manipulation of such terms. Note that there are longer, better reasoned, and higher voted answers to that StackOverflow question than the accepted answer which opts for "macros would become more difficult" FUD.
