Right? I think that's why I avoided it for so long

I'm super stoked for all the proc macro goodness folks have been talking about. Heard folks are now experimenting with pre-compiling proc macros to wasm so we can get rid of the syn + quote compilation from http://crates.io , which would make all of this so much better!! :D

I hadn't heard about that, but it sounds awesome

Haha yeah @davidtolnay told me agput it during RustConf, and so excited about it also!!!

I'm extremely confused at how wasm affects proc macros

We'd like to have http://crates.io  distribute proc macros as precompiled wasm binaries that are executed by a wasm runtime in the compiler. Then adding a dependency on a proc macro no longer adds anything to compile time.

Interesting. You still have to compile the wasm, so it's not "nothing" ;) Why wasm over MIR or a cranelift based rustc?

Wild guess: wasm is stable, MIR is *very* unstable
