Same here. Similarly, I stay away from macros. I think they have a detrimental effect on Rust’s development as well, where sometimes proposals of semantic features are rejected, because something can be done with macros on the syntax level. Maybe it can, but each time it’s inferior. So not only does a user need to deal with macros written by others, but some things aren’t going to get macro-less solutions and the user is forced to write macros from time to time as well (if there isn’t a crate with them ready). And don’t even get me started on the effect of proc macros on compilation times.
