Stop Writing JavaScript Compilers, Make Macros Ins...
Unhygienic macros aren't a C-ism: hygiene was an innovation (I think originally in Scheme). Ordinary Common Lisp macros are unhygienic.

So are sweet.js macros, or else they wouldn't need to have reimplemented GENSYM. But I get the impression (parent (parent)) had sweet.js macros mixed up with C-style string-replacement "macros", which was what prompted my comment.

Sweet.js is hygienic but you can choose to be unhygienic if you want.
It is the best of both worlds.
