Have you like looked at anything in the Clojure ecosystem because this description makes no sense of any kind. Clojure has macros but less powerful than common lisp and Clojure code in the ecosystem tends to be small and understandable.

It seems to me the Clojure community internalized the lesson of not writing macros unless it's really necessary more than other Lisps did.

Further confirming my point on why it is the only lisp with some genuine traction out there.
