Macros (Rust for Rustaceans Book Club: Chapter 7)

Video Description

Join us as we work through the excellent Rust for Rustaceans by Jon Gjengset together. The book is an excellent next step for diving that little bit deeper into understanding Rust. To get the most out of these sessions, reading the chapter before hand is strongly recommended, but not required. This session covered Chapter 7: Macros. Macros are an extremely powerful metaprogramming tool, and this chapter walks through the essentials for reading and writing Rust's declarative and procedural macros, a bit about how they work, and when they might be used.
