7. orchestrion

   6 1 389 9.6 Go

   Automatic compile-time instrumentation of Go code

   

   Project mention: Prep: Golang Comptime | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-27

   This is just integrated codegen into the build tool, right? Datadog has a similar project here https://github.com/DataDog/orchestrion that does the same thing.

   I think this kind of code gen is very wonky, and hard to debug unless there is some official API support for it. Using a sufficiently advanced build tool to handle this in a separate build step would help as well. But that usually causes problems with IDE support.
