How does assuming that macros don't scale help in proving that macros don't scale?
How does the complexity of C++ templates prove anything about syntactic abstraction in general or Lisp macros in particular?
- MichaelSalib 17y agoC++ templates are both less powerful and more complex and fragile than lisp macros. But no one ever says "oh, the C++ templating system does not scale" or "oh, C++ will never be successful until it eliminates/replaces the templating system"...do they?
- gruseom 17y agoI think I misunderstood your original point. Thanks for the clarification.
