Macro isn't your entire product. Loop macro is a thing since 1990's, yet it hasn't changed and everyone is fine with that. Macro can be extensible BTW, look at iterate macro in Common Lisp as an example.

You don't have to accept the code if you are worry about maintainability. But rejecting macro altogether is stupid.

I know since you just invent imaginary problem and farm those internet points.

Tl note: we don't have code review and let everyone add everything they want to our codebase and now we are blaming Lisp.

Seems like your problem tbh.

Isn't no point of living a point in itself?
