CS2 Discussion: Features: Macros

[vpj]

Will it make sense to support macros as a core feature in CoffeeScript?

[aurium]

How your macro proposal differ from a function definition? Can you show an example?

This has already been implemented as a pull request and a fork two years ago.

Not sure why they were never merged in, I guess because of lack of interest. This strikes me as a heavy addition to try to maintain going forward.

Closing this in favor of jashkenas/coffeescript#3171, do you mind continuing the discussion over there? I think the next steps for that PR are to update it to the latest master, and convince people why it’s worth adding to CoffeeScript 😄
