If you're not familiar with lisps in general, it might be hard to grok the differences between lisp-macros (as used in Clojure) and "normal" macros you see in other (non-lisp [sans Elixir I think]) languages.
But, if you are familiar already, and just wanna see examples of neat macros that makes the API nicer than what a function could provide, here are a few:
`spy` here doesn't just print what the `` form is returning, but the form itself too. You wouldn't be able to achieve this without macros, as the evaluation of the `` form would happen before it gets passed to `spy`, so the initial form is already gone. Instead, a macro received the very code you pass into it, so you can print it, inspect it, rewrite it or whatever.
