It was a minor thing actually, I didn't like having to quote "user"
code, and AFAIK, it's not possible to add a quasiquote as part of a
macro. i.e. in my code, there is a function (_js) that does the heavy
lifting, and the macro (js). I couldn't write:
(defmacro js [forms]
(quasiquote (_js forms))
That and IMO, (clj foo) is slightly more readable than ~foo.
