Haskell is purely functional. Is this a reason why there is not macro feature in Haskell? I feel the object-oriented paradigm of CL and Scheme is the reason for the macro feature in these two languages. If it's not, then what does the macro feature provide, and why isn't it in Haskell?</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="-webkit-monospace"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="-webkit-monospace">Douglas</font></div></body></html>
