Isnt it just easier to have a html file then replace tags inside of that rather than having a new macro language ?

This also supports conditional expressions and loops:

Shouldn’t it work in any IDE that understands Rust macros?

Totally agree, macros are the worst Rust feature for me, they are way too powerful and break the tooling, e.g. fmt or language server.

#9Maud is wonderful for small things like a stats page or dashboard.
But once you start getting to a few pages it's so much less cognitive overhead to separate concerns out into proper html files/templating.
It seems quite daunting to have a large project where all your html is inside rust files and a lot harder to find people who can work on it proficiently.

Is there any? I don't think there is a real meaning to "understanding rust macros", as they define something completely new.
