Great point about uniformity.

In lisp everything is a list - even code.

In smalltalk everything is an object - even code.

I think macros in smalltalk are plausible. I have nothing to back that up. I am definitely not a smalltalk hacker. I think that smalltalk can solve the same problems that macros solve just through a different approach.
