Ok, so what you really want is not to change how your program
functions, but how your IDE/editor functions. That means what you
really want is not a clojure macro, but an emacs macro--you want to
extend the functionality of emacs to make your editing easier. The
clojure code you write is not going
If you are connected to a swank server, have you tried C-c C-k to
compile the file you're editing?

As Ken said, you have to remember macros expand at compile time.
Think of a macro call as folded up code that the compiler unfolds
for you. A macro saves you from writing repetitive code.
But if you are trying to define a function whose name isn't known
until runtime, that's a whole different
The problem here is that macros run at compile time, but let bindings
exist at run time.
If you need the name to be determined at run time you will need to use eval.
Where do I use eval? I tried looking at the argument to see if it was
called with a string literal vs a symbol, but can't eval
I think you have the right idea, only not quite. :) If you write a
macro to define a function whose name is determined at run-time, you
end up with either a function that your program will never refer to,
or a program that calls functions that may or may not exist, depending
on what run-time

Here's another macro-noob question. (Thanks for the help on the

You don't need to use eval to create a function dynamically in a macro.
For an example, take a look at:

You don't need to use eval to create a function via a macro at compile
time. But to create a function and intern it in a var whose name is
not known
user (defmacro foo [x]
(let [name# (symbol (str foo- x))]
`(defn ~name# [] (
#'user/foo
user (let [eff gee] (foo eff))
