Hi Dimitris,

That would be certainly nice. C++ is hard, but if one start with a basic instantiation template it could be easier to move forward to more complex tasks like mapping data structures to STL, their containers and iterators. And I think it would attract C++ developers to Smalltalk.
Cheers,

There is the CCodeGenerator , which is basically Slang, Smalltalk that is turned into basic C. I would like to expand it to generate C++ at some point for converting pharo code to C++ code that I will be able to add to Unreal. Though its a very low priority project for me.

Personally I am against generalized solutions because they tend to be bad for specialized cases , on the other hand I welcome any code that I can use as inspiration for my own code generator.

Hi guys,

I am writing a code generator, doing a few iterations right now.
I want your opinion, which most useful thing would you like to be generated automatically? It could be a pattern, an idiom, another language...

For example my own wish (roadmap) list:

- A "settings framework" settings class generator.
- A state machine generator (based in the excellent paper of Trevor P. Hopkins)
- A Spec UI generator.

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers,
