In some book (I think some Common Lisp book), I've read that code leaning to the right is a pretty good indicator for code written in a functional style. If it's straight top-down, then it's probably more imperative with one outer let and setf-ing of that let's variables. That said, of course there's nothing wrong with macros like the cond with :let or the let? in this thread. They look really useful, and I think I have some spots in my code where I could make use of them.
