Scheme, for instance, obeys the Law of Macro-Parsimony: "don't use defmacro," namely, "where defn will suffice;" Clojure, on the other hand, is macro-liberal.
In other words, everyone seems to prefer e.g. `(defmacro foo [vars & body] `(do ... ~@body))' where `(defn foo [vars thunk] ... (thunk))' would suffice; cases in point: with-bindings with-bindings* with-in-str with-local-vars with-open with-out-str with-precision with-redefs Why? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
