An example-driven, step-by-step guide to success with Rust macros.
In Write Powerful Rust Macros you’ll learn how to use these amazing metaprogramming tools to push Rust to its full potential. This hands-on guide takes you from the absolute basics to advanced macro techniques, exploring Rust macros through interesting and engaging examples.
Inside Write Powerful Rust Macros you’ll discover:
Write Powerful Rust Macros teaches you how to write, test, debug, and publish macros for Rust. It’s perfect for Rust practitioners who want to master this powerful development technique. Build your knowledge chapter-by-chapter. You’ll start with declarative macros before diving into the real power: procedural macros that can generate code, augment data structures, and even create domain-specific languages.

about the technology
Macros are one of Rust’s most important and powerful tools. Although notoriously challenging, this metaprogramming technique has a big payoff. Using macros to generate new Rust code at compile-time can save you hours of tedious coding with negligible runtime performance impact. This book shows you exactly how to master this Rust superpower.about the book
Write Powerful Rust Macros opens up the world of macros to intermediate Rust programmers. You’ll start with declarative macros to get the basics under your belt. Then, you’ll advance to procedural macros as you automatically generate a builder, learn to create your own domain-specific languages, and more. As you go, you’ll develop practical skills like testing macros, integrating macros with crates, and even sharing your macros with other developers.what's inside
- How Rust libraries use macros
- Reading and debugging macro code
- newtypes and the type state pattern
A step-by-step practical guide. Real-world examples show how to write macros you’ll actually use.
The most comprehensive reference I’ve found on Rust macros. Invaluable for any Rustacean!
A deep dive into Rust’s macro system—one of its most potent features—that demystifies the art of metaprogramming. Essential!
Expertly equips the reader with the knowledge of how, and the discernment of when, to use Rust macros.

i wanted to learn more about rust macros
Excellent explaintion of basic and adanced Rust macro concepts
September 13, 2024 by Chris D. (NJ, US)
“This book is an excellent resource. Macros in Rust are a complex topic. This book demonstrates the basics but does not shy away from some tricky examples. I like that it also refers to some macro examples in popular crates. It explains (what usually seems like) the best option of using the syn and quote crates, but also describes how user fewer dependencies when that is desired.
I noticed a few small typographical or text rendering errors, but they are obvious and don't detract from the content.
I don't love how Rust source code is rendered. It is fine. I think there is room for improvement. I'd like to see color syntax highlighting in the eBook (text based, NOT an image). I'd like to see the numeric code notations rendered with more of a visual call out (perhaps a number in a circle). One day some publisher is going to improve on code rendering, perhaps it could be Manning. Maybe someone can make a crate to help with this.”
