Like some people mentioned, you can use a parsing library, but often
times I don't think that's necessary if you are just creating a DSL.
There are a couple of other strategies.
One is you can use a series of nested macros that expand into a data
structure. In this way your DSL will sort of
And does anyone has tried to use parser combinators on the result of the
reader, within a macro?

Dear all,
I am trying to write a small Domain Specific Language using macro, and I
want the syntax of the args of the macro to be somehow parsed and
transformed.
So, I have two questions:
- Does anybody else does that? (except the infix calculus) Is there a
generic method for doing it? Or even

Sorry, that's why I had quote around my parse.
I meant, use clojure reader to take a sequence in a macro and then parse
it for my own DSL.
So I shouldn't need any help from the reader (even if having some metas with
line and character attached to thing would help)
I do not want to go the parser

Consider using FnParse (http://github.com/joshua-choi/fnparse/tree/
develop). It's a pure Clojure parser combiner that is flexible in what
tokens it accepts. You can use it to parse the symbol/list/etc.
structures given to your macros into other forms.
FnParse 3, the latest version, is currently
