Do you know about the sugar package? Sugar implements real lisp macros.

Huh. Meh, the lack of Macros aren't a problem. The problem is lack of arbitrary code transformation, which isn't as fixable.

There is arbitrary code transformation in tcl through subst or string map

Yeah, because regex is so great at parsing code. It's not like that'll break in unexpected ways. And we all just love writing parsers in our macros.

Oh, wait.
