Re:Stop Writing JavaScript Compilers, Make Macros Instead

But many DSLs can be implemented just as well without the use of macros.
This does not refute your point at all -- that macros can be very helpful when implementing DSLs -- just wanted to point out that macros are not a requirement for doing so.
Also, a DSL expressed using first-class entities will fit into and integrate with its host language more nicely.
