The first rule of Macros is: don't write macros.

However, if you are going to use (and abuse) this powerful feature of Elixir, I can't think of anyone better than Chris McCord to help guide you on your way. Chris' talk on Macros[0] at Erlang Factory last year was not only highly education, but also very entertaining. If that video doesn't convince you, I recommend you take a look at the Phoenix web framework codebase[1]. Chris is an incredibly talented programmer, and an incredibly helpful, and patient guide to those less skilled than he attempting to contribute code to his projects (I know this because he held my hand through getting a pull request merged into Phoenix some months ago when I was still playing with Elixir).
