There's a class of things that don't require macros in Haskell, but I don't think that means macros are less useful in Haskell. There are plenty of things you might want them for, like generating new definitions.
- dllthomas 12y agoI certainly didn't want to imply that macros were not useful in Haskell. Just that there's good reasons you see them less often. Depriving a Haskell programmer of the ability to define new macros is going to hurt a whole lot less than depriving a Lisp programmer of the same.
