Why Not Macros

• Compilation time increases.

  • Code tokens have to be generated before the actual-code-to-compile exists.
  • Rust has to compile proc-macro crates, then run it over your crate.
  • Multiple versions of proc-macro crates means multiple compilation.

• Not IDE friendly.

  Generated accessors are not indexed by RLS / Rust analyzer, so you don't get "Jump to definition".
