- abrax3141 4y agoThe @ ruins most of the point of macros, which is to extend the language, provide cross-compatibility, and create DSLs (I guess that's three points...<-as are these). Anyway, since it's not surface homoiconic (although you can sort of dig down to the homoiconicity), it's better than most other languages, but still isn't a true contender for being an acceptable Lisp -- very close though. Just put the parens back and get rid of the junk syntax (and please stop idiotically marking the macros!), and I'd probably never look back.
