A hands-on workshop for learning to write Rust procedural macros, containing five real-world projects covering derive macros, function-like macros, and attribute macros. It was created for the Rust Latam conference and includes a test harness and guided workflow.

Use cases

• learn to write Rust procedural macros
• practice implementing derive macros like Builder
• understand attribute macros with real examples
• find exercises for function-like macros in Rust
• get a structured tutorial on macro debugging and testing

When to choose

• you already know Rust basics and want to learn proc macros through guided projects
• you prefer hands-on exercises with a test harness over passive reading
• you want examples drawn from real industrial use cases

When to avoid

• you are a complete Rust beginner still learning structs, enums, and traits
• you need a production macro library rather than educational material
• you are looking for declarative macro_rules! tutorials
