Each programmer must know what he/she is doing. Otherwise it is dangerous - not matter what language is used. Generally the programming is dangerous in the hands of a novice.

LISP macros are LISP, C macros are crazy preprocessor crap with line continuation characters. Just say no to preprocessors. LISP macros rock, C macros suck.
