Macros a "special" functions meant to be called by the compiler during
macro-expansion. But you a are calling a macro function "directly" in
your function body, instead of generating code that will be expanded
(calling your macro function) by the compiler:
(defmacro my-infix [expr]
(if (coll? expr)
(let [ [left op right] expr]
(list op `(my-infix ~left) `(my-infix ~right)))
expr))
