@codemixers @babeljs AFAIR sweet.js uses esprima which has different token format, so you will need to build own interop layer anyway.

@rreverser @codemixers Already done that. https://github.com/babel/babel-eslint/blob/master/acorn-to-esprima.js#L5-39 …

@sebmck @RReverser nice, I think this is really the only limiting factor preventing macros in babel now

@codemixers @rreverser I don't understand why people want macros in the first place. Only reason I haven't really looked into it.

@codemixers @rreverser It's worse than using non-standard syntax, you're making up your own.

@sebmck @codemixers ...said someone who brings pluggable syntax to Babel :P

@rreverser @codemixers Only for standards-based syntax experimentation :P

@sebmck @codemixers Of coooourse :)
