Macros manipulate program symbols. Macros fill the role that is filled by Perl scripts in the Java world, when they pre-process stuff (a database schema, or a gui model, for example) into actual Java code before you compile it. If a task could not be solved by pre-processing the source code before the program starts to run, then it is not a task for a macro.
On the bright side, using Java reflection is less tedious in Clojure than it is in Java. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
