ah I tricked myself... I used "~a"  inside the macro instead of "~c" or
"~cls"
so back to still impossible

=> (defmacro mew [cls & restt]
     (let [c cls]
       `(eval (new ~c ~@restt))
       )
     )
#'runtime.q/mew
=> (let [a java.lang.RuntimeException]
     (mew a)
     )
CompilerException java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to resolve
classname: a, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:2:3)
=> (defmacro mew [cls & restt]
     `(eval (new ~cls ~@restt))
     )
#'runtime.q/mew
=> (let [a java.lang.RuntimeException]
     (mew a)
     )
CompilerException java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to resolve
classname: a, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:2:3)
