There are several languages with macro systems different from C's.
Starting with Lisp as one of the oldest programming languages, you can
find macro mechanisms with varying sophistication in Scheme, Dylan [1]
and also more recent languages like Clojure [2], Shen [3], Rust [4],
Nimrod [5], Nemerle [6], Dao [7] or Haxe [8].
