ds# inside the def is inside a ~() which means it's expected to exist
outside of the `
like:
(defmacro ...
(let [ds# "something]
`(def ~(... ds# ) ....
))
maybe try the let block be outside of the ` ? but that means you probably
need to use eval
It's funny I tried the same thing like you like 1 day ago here:
https://github.com/DeMLinkS/demlinks/commit/85219208007fff6e7a11fb579d7125c73a6dc597
by trying to put the let inside the ` but failed
