Implement "defmacro" #6

Open vickychijwani opened 10 years ago

vickychijwani commented 10 years ago

Reading material:

Dmitry Nizhegorodov's Lisp System
Other Lisp->JS implementations conveniently listed here: look at implementations that support macros, have an interpreter, are written in JavaScript, and are variants of Clojure.
