Do We Want Lisp Macros?
- PaulHoule 2y agoI enjoyed this book https://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html https://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html but concluded the real magic was in the functions and macros were the cherry on top. Most of the tricks discussed in that book apply in Python too, and he avoids the kind of macros that deeply transform programs which are the kind of macros most unique to Lisp.
