I'm new to Lisp so please forgive me if I'm way off track here... Macros are not functions, and don't enjoy the same rights as first class functions (ie: being assignable). Macro-expansion happens before execution, so it should be impossible to have a reference to one. So from my naive point of view, defmacro returning a value would be very confusing indeed. user=> (def *myfun* (defmacro foo [] 'bar)) #=(var user/*myfun*) user=> *myfun* nil user=> foo java.lang.Exception: Can't take value of a macro: #=(var user/foo) user=> (def *myfun* (defn foo2 [] 'bar)) #=(var user/*myfun*) user=> *myfun* #=(var user/foo2) Is the behaviour I would expect. However maybe you are refering to something Clojure specific I'm not aware of?
