Despite Brian Carpenter's warning about torches and pitchforks [1], I've decided to release a reader-macros package; may Zeus forgive me for opening this pithos:
https://github.com/klutometis/reader-macros Here's a trivial example where we implement a reverse-string reader: (use '[clojure.string :only (reverse)]) (set-macro-character \" (fn [reader quote] (reverse (macro-read-string reader quote)))) (println "hello, reader macros") => sorcam redaer ,olleh My friend Evan Gamble [2] mentioned that he might use reader macros for parsing his new language Timeless; in which case, we'd have an actual use-case. Until then, we have new toys.
