Macros are very hard to write tooling for, and hence difficult to author and use. I think that, perhaps something like Polyglot GraalVM[1], which was designed to host many languages and let them all seamlessly talk with each other, while automatically making existing tooling "just work" with any new languages created with the framework [2] would be a better way.
