For those not watching the compiler development traffic, macros 1.1 (which will enable things like #[derive(FromForm))]) could land in stable as soon as 6 weeks from now. We haven't really started thinking about a "macros 1.2" yet, so syntex will still have some use.

If you want to know more about our glorious macros 1.1 future, David Tolnay just have a great meetup talk all about this a few weeks ago:

The plan is for macros 1.1 to land in the next release, I wrote about it yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13239774
