This is could be a good criticism in theory, in practice you can observe how it works out. Fukamachi uses @ everywhere, attila-lendvai uses his def-star library ej (def (class foo) ...) instead of (defclass foo ...), some people use iterate, etc and all is good. People can write shit code sans macros no problem. I'd rather have them than don't. After all macros embody the whole point of programming[0] [0]: http://axisofeval.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-of-macros.html http://axisofeval.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-of-macros.html
