Good intro to Scheme macros?
Saturday, December 6, 2003
Has anyone come across a good introduction to Scheme macros? I mentioned Shriram Krishnamurthi's "Macros and their Impact on Language Design" paper in an earlier posting. What other introductory papers are good starters on Scheme macros? What I'm specifically after is the rationale for hygienic macros and a bit of an insight into how the Scheme macro system evolved. I know that there are a lot of papers on Scheme macros on readscheme.org but most of them seem to deal with a specific facet of Scheme macros. Is there some paper that looks at Scheme macros a bit more "holistically"?
