PEP 638 – Syntactic Macros in Python
- superdisk 4y agoHow did Python go so off the rails? It seems like every month there's more crazy shit being added to it. And I love macros, they just don't belong in Python at all.
- thebigspacefuck 4y agoThis isn’t an accepted PEP so it’s not being added to Python (at least not yet). Last activity was in 2020 so it’s unlikely to be added soon.
- pulvinar 4y agoPython with macro capability is no longer Python. Macros completely defeat the readability of Python, its defining characteristic. Fork it and call it something else, please.
