I do not have any problems writing macros (in fact, I recently finished my guile scheme version of rackets for loops) It is just that the macro I wrote did a lot more work than it had to, and led to weird syntax behaviour. I didn't delimit what I was trying to do. John over in #guile put me on the right track.


I didn’t mean to imply you had trouble writing all macros. But as someone who is trying to learn some c-lisp on the side I can see why they can get a lot more tricky than “regular” coding that one might do say in Java. So the point is you are probably doing something more advanced there.
