Not in Clojure itself, but there is an implementation in an external library, clojure.contrib.macro-utils: http://github.com/richhickey/clojure-contrib/blob/ 82cf0409d0fcb71be477ebfc4da18ee2128a2ad1/src/clojure/contrib/ macro_utils.clj Concerning your other questions, I think most of them have been answered already. In general, the main difference between macros in Clojure and Common Lisp comes from the fact that Clojure has namespaces and both namespace-qualified and unqualified symbols. This takes care of many of the typical problems with non-hygienic macros in Common Lisp, while still permitting intentional variable capture. It's a pretty neat design once you have understood all the details!
