Pronunciation

- /haɪˈd͡ʒɛnɪk/
- (US) audio
- /haɪˈd͡ʒiːnɪk/
Etymology
From French hygiénique. Displaced earlier hygienal.
Meanings
- Pertaining to hygiene; clean, sanitary, free of disease.
-
(of a macro, slang) Whose expansion is guaranteed not to cause the accidental capture of identifiers.
Of course, anyone with a Scheme background is probably howling at this point because they have a hygienic macro system that makes unintended variable capture impossible. Allowing variable capture when we really, really want it makes Clojure's macro system technically more dangerous than hygienic systems.
