Codegenerators are everywhere even when you don’t call them so. At the end something that is not text is translated to text. The technologies that are used are very diverse. There is no framework to rule them all, but there are modern technologies out there that will do things differently like we did it 20 years ago. From straightforward model to text to model to model to model to model to model to model to model …. to text - everything is there, but do you really know what is there today? Do you know what to use and why? Do you know when to use what? Of course, there is no silver bullet, but there are very different frameworks for different jobs!
In this talk, I will wrap up what is there for what use case and what the good and the bad sides are. I will show you what the cool kids’ are using nowadays and why they are successful or not.

The journey will go from old tools like JET, Velocity, and Xpand to Acceleo, Xtend, Xbase and model to model transformations to MPS reductionrules with model to model transformations. Pros and cons and what to use for what usecase.
