also assuming it will make a lot more sense when macros *really* click- I'm less than a few hours into lisp!
Think of macros as code generators. Generating code lets you do things you couldn't do with a function, because you have access to the arguments unevaluated. E.g. you can't write this as a function: (defmacro setnil (v) `(setf ,v nil))
Hmm, wrapping my head around this. Could you achieve a lot of what macros could do with higher order functions? Macros would more efficient/clean though I suppose I'll work through ANSI common lisp tomorrow and hopefully get a better grasp, thank you for answering these Qs!
You can't do anything that requires access to the unevaluated arguments with higher-order functions, and if you use a macro for something that doesn't require the unevaluated arguments, you're probably misusing macros, so basically no.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
There’s some stuff that I’d definitely grasp faster if I could ask questions though.
Any lisp experts out there mind answering some?
