Hello, Apparently, no:
1:85 user=> (macroexpand-1 '(defn hello [] "world")) (def hello (clojure.core/fn ([] "world"))) 1:86 user=> (read-string "(defn hello [] \"world\")") (defn hello [] "world") 1:87 user=> read-string did not expand defn. I think it's 'eval that expands macros and compiles forms.
