Thank you everyone for explanations. I think now I understand macros and
how to use macro let better.

I suppose you refer to the ~'defpop, right? That
Hi, Milinda. I'll try to explain my reasoning of the situation. I always
find it helpful to macroexpand if I'm having trouble:
;; original version
user=> (macroexpand-1 '( boby))
(clojure.tools.macro/macrolet [(defpop [] tu1282)] ;; <- undef. lookup
(clojure.core/defn user/execute [tu12
Milinda if you are asking about the ~' that simply allows you to quote a
symbol without the namespace resolution that a backquote ` provides. If you
are trying to capture a local lexical value or otherwise do not want the
full namespace resolved for the symbol, then you must use an ordinary quot
Thanks Konrad. Your unquoting trick worked. But I am not exactly sure how
to reason about these types of situations. Can you please shed some lights
behind the logic of above unquoting if possible.
Thanks

This should generate function like
(defn execute [tu3455] (let [x 10] (+ x tu3455)))
Try this:
(defmacro [body]
`(macrolet [(~'defpop [] 'tu#)] (defn execute
I tried this. But couldn't achieve what I wanted. Below is the macro I
wrote by utilizing macro let
(defmacro [body]
(let [x (gensym 'tu)
defpop-decl
(list 'defpop [] x)]
`(macrolet [~defpop-decl]
(defn execute [~x] ~body

Thanks Jason. I'll try this.

Can you use macrolet from here: https://github.com/clojure/tools.macro ?
