Perhaps I'm being pedantic, but `if` and many other control-flow constructs are implemented as macros in Clojure. So you probably use macros a lot!

In CL, IF is a special form and COND is a macro.

So everyone uses C.

SBCL is self-hosting. It feels like a bit of a stretch to say syscalls are macros, but if you really want to torture language that way then sure because the kernel is mostly C.
