It does away with macros and (direct) metaprogramming, but it does offer code generation as a first-class citizen via <code>go:generate</code> . On multiple counts, it is rather unassuming and underwhelming, after all the code generation needs to be directly committed for it to be used; there&rsquo;s no generators or run time generation, but rather it forms part of the distribution.</p>
