Hi, I'm quite new to macros so forgive me if this is a naïve question, but is it possible to write macros that are applied to an entire Clojure program?
The reason I ask is that, in other threads in this group, some simple transformations to improve efficiency of Clojure programs were mentioned. In particular, it seems converting `(+ 1 2 3)` to `(+ 1 (+ 2 3))` can speed things up. Applying such a transformation to my own code would be a mindless pattern matching job, and thus perfect for automation. Any suggestions how I might write a Clojure program that takes as input another Clojure program and outputs a third one that is optimised but semantically equivalent to the input? Are macros the right tool for the job in this case?
