I'm reading the LISP book on www.gigamonkeys.com to take a look at what
some people still call the best language ever. It's pretty cool.

I'm reading about macros now, and I remember from Ola Bini's blog that
Ruby can't do macros.
In my limited understanding, it seems that the only thing separating
Ruby from "true macros" is the ability to ... Define new keywords / new
syntax ?
LISP's ` (the backtick) is roughly equivalent to Ruby's eval with a
string, right?

If there are any seasoned LISPers here, can you think of a sample LISP
macro that can't be written in Ruby, to help me understand better?

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
