11. Macros
Learning objectives
In this chapter, you will learn how Clojure macros work and how to write them. Macros are a very powerful feature of Clojure that simply does not exist in many other non-Lisp languages. Writing macros requires learning some new concepts and some new skills. This chapter will take you through the basic concepts: distinguishing between compile-time and run-time execution, quoting strategies and macro hygiene.
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to automatically generate functions and craft custom environments to streamline your code.
