[Accepted] A New Direction for Testing in Swift

It would be great to get an update from the core Swift team about their plans to make macros more viable for the ecosystem. Perhaps in a new forum thread?

I'm afraid we don't yet have a good technical solution for the general problem of not needing to compile swift syntax from source in order to compile macros outside of the toolchain. It is well understood though that this is an important feature for the community and one where solutions are being actively investigated, but there aren't any updates to share as of right now. Starting a new thread on the forums won't accelerate this process.
