PEP 638 is exciting because it introduces syntactic macros to Python, allowing developers to customize and extend the language's syntax. This makes it easier to create specialized features for specific projects without changing Python itself. It opens up new possibilities for innovation and experimentation, making Python more powerful and flexible.

Isn't the risk that you make python no longer look like python? At what point should someone simply choose a different language better suited for that particular purpose?
