I see why you want to create your own reader macros—you want to set apart certain code visually. But ataggart has a good point when he keeps asking you for specific examples of your code. Do you want to use reader macros to change something like this: (make-data "red" "blue" "green") into somethi

2 ataggart Ok. I don't explain coorect why I want to have build-in ability to create reader macro. In my study and job I very often use different spesific data structures. It's very useful to have reader macro to work with them, because it makes my code easilier to perception: work with data struc

Well, clojure provides a variety of reader macro. In fact I don't think that I would need different ones, but I would like to have them available, simply because I like concise, purpose-built languages. Besides I don't think that user created reader macro would damage because there is practically
