Give Janet a try, it's a breath of fresh air with well-realized primitives and a solid standard library. For a decade now I've been immersed in the worlds of Clojure and Nim, where macros often get abused to no end. I've written 0 Nim macros, and a number of Lisp macros I could count on one hand.
I agree on macros: I have been using Common Lisp since 1982 and I almost never write macros. To be fair, I like my Common Lisp code to be readable (to me) and don't care as much about conciseness.
In any case, I think every developer should have a few languages that they really enjoy using.
