venial 0.2 - A lightweight alternative to syn
In parallel, to dogfood my API, I've implemented a fork of the miniserde crate. My initial experience (with some obvious bias) is that venial is roughly as usable as syn for derive macros.

Boilerplate, a minimal compile-time text template library 0.2.4 has been released. Looking for feedback and users before 1.0!

venial 0.4 - A lightweight alternative to syn
Porting more libraries to venial. Good candidates would be derivative, clap and darling. Also, clap maintainer epage has expressed interested in helping any such post, so go see him if you're interested. I'll probably find some missing features in the process.

venial 0.2 - A lightweight alternative to syn
In particular, the handling of attributes in venial is extremely bare-bones. I'd like to improve it, and also port darling for easier writing.
