Осторожность и внимание к деталям было уделено разработке и внедрению Phoenix. Общий дизайн каркаса хорошо структурирован и чист. В этой главе мы увидим основные концепции, лежащие в основе, и получим вводные идеи относительно его дизайна.
Macros
Implementation wise, not a single macro was used. Macros cause more trouble than its worth, regardless if they are used only in the implementation. A very early version of the framework did use macros to generate redundant code. The experience was to say the least, painful. 1) The code is so much more difficult to read 2) Compile errors take you in the middle of nowhere in a meaningless macro invocation without the slightest clue whatsoever what went wrong. The bottom line is: Macros are plain ugly. Exclamation point! No to macros. Period.
