Sourcery: Template-Based Code Generation for Swift

Krzysztof Zabłocki (tweet):

Swift is a beautiful language that powers a lot of great iOS apps. Unfortunately it features very limited runtime and no meta-programming features. This has led our projects to contain a lot of duplicated code patterns, they can be considered the same code, just with minimal variations.

[…]

Insanity is a tool that scans your source code, applies your personal templates and generates Swift code for you, allowing you to use meta-programming techniques to save time and decrease potential mistakes.

Soroush Khanlou:

Codegen is gonna become a crucial part of Swift development in not very long.

Update (2016-12-12): Martin Pilkington:

I can’t help but feel that code generation is a code smell. Shows a language/API weakness.

Update (2016-12-13): Krzysztof Zabłocki:

Insanity has been renamed to Sourcery, and we just released 0.3.0 version, old links / remotes should work fine.
