It's going to help you. Yeah. Pretty please. I think exactly what you want in that. Like you mean you, your code generation is like emitting new lines and stuff like that. Yes, that's right.

Yeah.

Totally. This is what I've fallen in love with, with regard to like Rust macros, which is you can use another David Crate, the quasi-quoting system. So you quote code that looks like Rust code.

and then pretty please we'll just clean it up so you don't have to like just live in this cave person era of like strings on strings and doing your own semi-formatting here and there and the beautiful thing too is like your code generation in macro context can be exactly the same code that if you want to generate code and dump it into files and i think it just allows for

really, like, debuggable, testable, understandable code, as opposed to, as you're saying, Brian, like, kind of this swirly code generation that is also interspersed with formatting.

I mean, that was the tweet, right? Like, I feel like David has done so much stuff in this kind of domain, too, that surely David has found this problem. In fact, I'm going to cast this open to David and to Rain, who's bumped into this. You know, one of the things that I struggle with Rain...

is a problem I saw you working on in Dropshot, which is one of the things that Sin, another different totally create, does very nicely is like turning errors in the Rust macro context into code generated errors to help debug and stuff. And one of the things I saw you do in Dropshot was like, collect a pile of errors to then emit all at once.

And I'm sort of surprised that there wasn't something you reached for to say, as you encounter problems and errors along the way, accumulate this list so that you're not just failing on the first problem, but actually emitting a bunch of errors for the user to then handle all at once.

No, never. Actually, you know what? Rain may have pointed me to this a while ago. But Rain, just to be clear, this is not in macro context. When you say it kind of draws inspiration from Rust C, it's not like it's for if you're processing some other kind of document or whatever and you want to draw on that kind of concept. Okay, cool.

This is where Detone tells us to reach under our chairs, and we've all got that crate sitting right there. Exactly, I know.
