TheFARM’s guide to Macros

Choosing the right tool for the job comes down to what you're trying to do with your macro. Generally speaking you'll be writing a macro that is either a XSLT or a .NET User Control. We currently don't use the DLR languages so using IronPython or IronRuby as the macro type isn't done (but if you can put forth a good case as to why we should we're happy to hear it!) and it's not often that you're going to require a macro which loads up a .NET control which is just a class (such as a CompositeControl or WebControl).
