Best not confuse your personal preference for macros with a requirement for the global programming population. Most languages do not use macros, metaprogramming is comparatively niche and doesn’t lend itself well to the style of programming people are attracted to Gleam for.
- AlchemistCamp 3y ago> Best not confuse your personal preference for macros with a requirement for the global programming population. I didn't. I said don't use Gleam and then said why. I care about having ergonomic DSLs and a RAD web framework that's maximally productive for individuals and small teams. Others care about different goals. As I said above, I'm also glad Gleam exists and people have more options.
