I tried with eval, tried the let inside and outside the syntax-quote - I've tried everything! This is so frustrating!

ds# inside the def is inside a ~() which means it's expected to exist outside of the `
like:
(defmacro ...
  (let [ds# "something]
    `(def ~(... ds# ) ....
))

maybe try the let block be outside of the ` ? but that means you probably need to use eval

It's funny I tried the same thing like you like 1 day ago here: https://github.com/DeMLinkS/demlinks/commit/85219208007fff6e7a11fb579d7125c73a6dc597
by trying to put the let inside the ` but failed

    Hi everyone,

    I cannot figure out for the life of me how to pass in an optional
    doc-string into a 'defsomething' macro and have it to work. If I
    hard-code it then it works just fine...

    (defmacro def-plus-doc [name & syms]
      `(def ~(with-meta name (assoc (meta name) :doc "HI!")) ~@syms))
    ;;this will work just fine

    (defmacro def-plus-doc [name & syms]  ;;slightly augmented to
    detect doc-string
    `(let [[doc# & syms# :as all#] (vector ~@syms)
            cs#  (if (string? doc#) [syms# true] [all# false])
            ds#  (if (second cs#) doc# "This workflow has not been
    documented...")]
       (def ~(with-meta name (assoc (meta name) :doc ds#)) ~@syms)))

    ;;fails with CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable
    to resolve symbol: ds# in this context,
    compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:5:26)

    why is it so hard? I've been trying for almost 3 hours!!!! nothing
    seems to work... :(

Please correct me if I'm wrong or incomplete,
even if you think I'll subconsciously hate it.
