  • One way we used macros was to generate Html. There is a very natural fit between macros and Html, because Html is a prefix notation like Lisp, and Html is recursive like Lisp....In fact it turned out that Web consultants didn't like Viaweb.
    Consultants, as a general rule, like to use products that are too
    hard for their clients to use, because it guarantees them ongoing
    employment....But by using closures, we could make it
    look to the user, and to ourselves, as if we were just doing a
    subroutine call.
