Guido's concerns about preserving simplicity resonate well with me. Maybe I am just a kid excited with his new toy. I have always admired macros. Quite a few functional languages have them now. But they have always been in languages with sub-optimal community code base, which meant I never went too deep into any of those languages. So I never used any macro supported language for long to have strong opinions about any one implementation.
However, Logix's implementation looks rather interesting. By creating sub languages that are close to but isolated from Python, it does not really mess with the existing language but creates nice oppurtunities to encapsulate boiler-plate code structures when the need arises. I would not necessarily expect such functionality to be in the standard distribution but language oriented programming could just be another jewel in Python's multi-paradigm crown and set it distinctly apart from competitors like Ruby. Do you have any specific comments towards Logix's implementation? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
