Macros works much like they do in Common Lisp.
The following locally scoped macro kinds have the same names as in CL
macroletsymbol-macrolet
The syntax and behavior is the also the same
In order not to clash with Common Lisp, Vari's variants of top level macros have different names:
define-vari-macrois Vari's version ofdefmacrodefine-vari-compiler-macrois Vari's version ofdefine-compiler-macro
Other than the naming, Vari's variants of the macros behave in the same way as their Common Lisp cousins.
Vari does not yet have an equivalent of define-symbol-macro
Vari naturally shares the reader with Common Lisp and as such has no additions here.
Varjo is at leave to expand a given macro for the same form any number of times. As such it is recommended to avoid use of global state or non-deterministic functions in the creation of your expansion as you will not be able to control what the output will be.
