Summary
@PlaydateMainmacro andPlaydateKitMacrostargetentry.swiftevent handler boilerplate in examplesMotivation
SwiftSyntax is a large dependency that significantly increases build times for all downstream consumers of PlaydateKit. It's also tightly coupled to specific Swift compiler versions, which causes build issues — particularly when using snapshot toolchains or Xcode with non-standard toolchain configurations.
The
@PlaydateMainmacro only eliminated a small amount of event handler boilerplate (~18 lines per game). Restoring this boilerplate is a worthwhile tradeoff to avoid the build time and compatibility cost of SwiftSyntax.
