Why Lisp macros are cool, a Perl perspective (2005)

You don't need those 4 paragraphs.

I have this alias in my .zshrc:

    clc() { sbcl --no-userinit --load $1 --eval "(sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die \"$(sansext $1)\" :toplevel 'main :executable t)" }

Sansext is a custom function that strips the file extension from a filename, but you don't need that; you can read output filename from $2, or whatever else.

Nice. I think it is important for proponents of languages to answer FAQs like this so you aren't left in a corner when you want do so something (i.e build & distribute) that is standard in most languages.
