Can we still use obscure babel macros with the new Rust compiler? And if so, what do you think the future will look like for babel macros in a future where most build tooling is written in languages like rust/go?

You really think most of the build tooling will be written in other languages than JS? Compilers make sense, they are very CPU bound, but otherwise build tooling should also be accessible to modify to the developers working in the project, not just those who use Rust/Golang. And I'm sure we'll still use JS projects for some of the tooling.

Deno is using the same compiler (SWC) so there is data point number two on the question. esbuild is another...
