Well, the C preprocessor is a pretty far cry from the kind of power of Lisp macros. If you want something as powerful as Lisp macros (ish), there isn't much else you can use in C++ land.

You can do quite a lot with if constepxr and TMO tricks, even stuff like generation of serialization code, even if isn't as clean as a Lisp implementation would be.
And who knows, maybe by C++23 some form of reflection will be finally available.
