I must admit - I still don't understand macros. I get that they're code that's generated at compile time. But I don't understand how that's different than a function which evaluates other functions. I guess the latter would actually be evaluated at runtime? I think I get it conceptually but I'm not sure I have the muscle memory to reach for them. Anybody here have an "ah hah!" Moment with macros?
