I wonder if Clojure does employ the same syntax either for macros and functions by design or it's just a remainder of Lisp. I think that a shared syntax for both macros and functions calls is a flaw in the syntax of Lisps, because you can't tell, just by looking at a form, which expressions get evaluated and which don't, at least when you are dealing with side effects.
Someone says that when you are reading code you are expected to know the documentation of each form you encounter, but I don't agree. Usually when I read code I rely heavily on good naming, so I don't usually need to reach for the documentation. Since I'm a C/C++ programmer, my convention is that macros and only macros are all uppercase, so I can easily spot them and be aware that they behave differently. What do you think?
