Are macros performant enough to allow a power user to replace a scripting language like elisp for a long file of strings, which if I remember correctly was the main issue with using emacs over clisp, unstructured strings.
- kagevf 4y agoCommon Lisp macro expansion happens at compile time, so they wouldn't affect runtime performance.
- ElevenLathe 4y ago...but it's a fair thing to think about if the "poweruser" interface encourages creating new macros on the fly. Common Lisp can "compile" at the REPL or otherwise in the live environment.
