For a long time Scheme had no macros, and Scheme developers who were exceedingly familiar with Common Lisp were nonetheless willing to get by without them. So I have to think macros aren't all THAT important. Scheme did eventually get macros, but somewhat different from CL's. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
