I admire the consideration Richard and the rest of the Roc community put into the language, but I'm curious whether the absence of macros will unavoidably lead to code like https://github.com/agu-z/roc-pg?tab=readme-ov-file#examples . It's not obvious to me that the benefits of that constraint (teachability, language tooling) outweigh the costs of writing code that probably should be automated.

That said, I may just be showing my lisp bias, and tools like Squirrel in Gleam are sufficient https://hexdocs.pm/squirrel/
