rubymacros version 0.1.5 has been released!
RubyMacros is a lisp-like macro pre-processor for Ruby. More than just a
purely textual substitution scheme, RubyMacros can manipulate and morph
Ruby parse trees (in the form of RedParse Nodes) at parse time in just
about
any way you see fit.
Macros are programmed in ruby itself. And since parse trees are
represented
in RedParse format, they’re easier to use (programatically) and more
object-
oriented than other available ruby parsetree formats. (RedParse Node
format
is actually designed to be straightforward to use and to represent the
structure of ruby source code very closely.)
