I’ve read it and I liked it. It covers generating code from an external file, which is about 80% of the macro code I write. The section on generating an HTML DSL, is probably the least useful for me. I believe at some point it started using an actor to track changes, which I didn’t really like. The Phoenix router DSL is pretty interesting, but the patterns used there weren’t in the book. So, I recommend diving into the Phoenix, Plug, and Ecto code after reading the book. I’d say the book gave me the building blocks to read and understand those. Reading those, personally gave me a better idea of what’s possible.
