Yeah this is kinda like... this is definitely an advanced topic within the topic of macro writing and not very intelligible if you haven't written simpler macros for a while already.

I wrote a book whose third chapter is a much "gentler" introduction to macros. I don't know if it's actually intelligible (see: the monad tutorial fallacy) but it presents them the way that I was first able to understand them -- explicitly starting without quasiquote and working up to it. Easier for me than getting lost in the notation. https://janet.guide/macros-and-metaprogramming/
