The bun and other authors would probably do well to not repurpose already understood terminology. "Macros" are already understood to be code that produces other code. "Comptime" is a nice alternative, but bun's "macros" aren't macros in that sense.
We had sweet-js macros as a library many years ago but it looks like it went nowhere, especially after an incompatible rewrite that (afaik) remains broken for even basic cases. (Caveat: been a while since I looked at it)
