> yes, the C/C++ pre-processor does suck in many ways and is masochistic if you're not careful, but it's also incredibly flexible. Why not just use it as-is for Rust ? There are plenty of non-C/C++ things which use cpp. X11 uses it for config files (.Xresources for instance afaik). I think that polkit or something like that uses it too for its config files. I've seen it used in Java.
