Welcome to the Rust community! This is a place to discuss about the Rust programming language.

At least 69K, which is over half of all crates — https://lib.rs/quote is used almost exclusively for output of proc macros.
Oh, we are calling
proc-macro
crates "compiler plugins"! I didn't realize.They are
dlopen
ed by the rustc process. You can totally mess with it: https://nitter.net/m_ou_se/status/1368632701448818691I'm aware.
I just find calling the average proc-macro crate a "compiler plugin" a little bit baffling/confusing.
Isn't the term "compiler plugin" reserved for crates/tools that depend on
rustc
, likeclippy
?
