Re: [pypy-dev] Questions about the C core

Has anyone thought about features that Python does not have that should be in Minimal? My first candidate would be (ducks) macros,

as a final user visible feature, I hope not. As an implementation then invisible tool maybe/why not.

since that could drastically simplify constructing core Python features. I have some thoughts on pythonic ways to do that which I need to write up.

there is really no pythonic way to do macros. You can check this python-dev thread http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/1076771 My personal opinion is that entering the realm of language (re)design vs. simply implementation is a risky move...
