title: Macros, clojure vs common lisp
body: <p>A few of my friends and I are working on a new platform and we want to build it in lisp. The main attraction are macros. We all use Common Lisp but I want to explore the option of Clojure.</p>
  
  <p>When I proposed this one of them said that the macro system is 'weaker'. I wanted to know if this is true, and in what areas.</p>
