Why not try Lisp as another language? Macros are not necessarily kludges (though C macros are). They are a tool for code simplification and decomposition. Another tool is functions. Functions are called, macros are expanded. > Please don't fallaciously assume I don't know anything just because > I'm criticizing a Language you're fanatical about. I'm not.

Now, let's stop this discussion. Or we can continue it under the perspective of improving the C preprocessor, that's an interesting subject.
