Some further experiment:
$ clj
Clojure 1.1.0-alpha-SNAPSHOT
user=> (def x 42)
#'user/x
user=> (defmacro m[] 'x)
#'user/m
user=> (m)
42
user=> (let [x 43] (m))
43
There is no referential transparency, it seems. Also, it looks like
Clojure macros are runtime macros,
i.e. they may depend from runtime values and macro expansion cannot be
performed statically
without running the program (which is usually considered pretty bad).
Am I correct?
Finally, as an unrelated question, is there an equivalent of macrolet
in Clojure?
Thanks,
Michele Simionato
