Introducing crabtime, a novel way to write Rust macros

Uh, this blog says "introducing", but this is hardly new. I have seen this crate around for a while, and https://crates.io/crates/crabtime/versions corroborates that.

Is this an old blog? I can't find a date on it.

Doesn't support derive macros, unfortunately.

(slightly edited from initial version)

#![feature(macro_metavar_expr_concat)]
#![feature(macro_metavar_expr)]

macro_rules! gen_enums {
    ([$($name:ident)+]) => {
        gen_enums!(${count($name)}: [$($name)+]);
    };
    ($n:literal: [$($name:ident)+]) => {
        enum ${concat(Position, $n)} { $($name,)+ }
    };
    ($name:ident, $($tail:ident,)*) => {
        gen_enums!([$name $($tail)*]);
        gen_enums!($($tail,)*);
    };
    () => {};
}
