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.)
