Completely agree. Go has parsing and type checking and what not as part of its stdlib. However they choose a code generation approach which is a separate step and often relies on code comments. Even if security fears of compile time execution were allayed, the Go stewards are very unlikely to support altering the very strict-yet-simple grammar for multiple reasons. Macros would be very welcome, but they can't help improve the language if the language is intentionally inflexible.
