Whether macros will be added or not is necessary in many cases.

This decision is not final, but right now I think there shouldn't be macros.

The goal of V is a simple language for building maintainable software. Macros are nice, but they can make large code bases very confusing. Every developer has an option to extend the language, thus readability suffers.

I like V very much. He looks like go2 in my dream.
