"Here are a few languages that have tried to build lisp macro support (none successfully, IMO):"

I dunno, Nemerle and Perl seem okay to me. Can't really speak about Dylan or Template Haskell, except to say that it seems to me the only reason Haskell needs macros is due to its restrictive type system.
