People have macro use cases more often than they think. I work in devops these days and almost every week I have a situation where I have to generate repeated patterns of code using the language in which Im writing code(Python/Shell/Perl etc). Many times these are done through what is known as manual work. In my experience if someone is complaining about laborious manual work. Lack of quick automation, they are basically in a scenario where the language lacks features to generate code to do work, which they have to now do instead. Its for this reason I have to write adhoc perl scripts to generate shell commands, and sometimes even whole shell/python snippets/mini-programs. All because Perl makes it easy to generate text(code). Perl now acts as a macro facility for Shell/Python. If you pay close attention these patterns will begin to show all up over the place.
