A great resource that I should have found on my own. Thank you. I’ll look through this later. Giving it a quick glance now I see some of the same language I see other places; here that macros are “too far.”

I don’t know why macros are approached with apprehension. As I briefly get at in my first comment, I’m aware of a lot of dismissals of macros as a tool, but those dismissals don’t make sense to me in context. I’m missing some backstory or critical mind-share tipping points in the history of the concept.

What could be a good set of sources to understand the background perspective with which TC39 members approach the concept of macros?
