Are macros still an enormous edge in the power of a language?
prodigal_erik: Sure, working with code in someone else's domain-specific language is hard. But not as hard as working with a lower-level translation from a domain-specific language which only exists in their head. Even if Clojure were only used for one project in the world, I'm still better off learning Clojure than trying to maintain the JVM bytecode it happens to compile to.
