Introducing Project Steadfast
Summary
Noteflakes introduces Project Steadfast, a grant-backed effort to build a general-purpose macro tool for Ruby using quote/unquote DSLs to manipulate Prism ASTs. The post ties this work to prior explorations (Unrolled Code) and Papercraft, highlighting the performance and complexity trade-offs of DSLs and runtime code generation, and outlining the plan to develop tooling and integrate with popular Ruby gems. It also notes a four-month progress window and a philosophy of open development and licensing.
