Code generation is always painful. It's yet another compiler add-on one has to add to a pipeline. Because now If I use your executable I have to manage your tool and its versions,it becomes yet another dependency. At least real/reified macros (that go lacks) need no third party executable . Code generation with third party tools means language fragmentation. Suddenly people add their own DSL on top of Go in form of a manifest. Suddenly Go executes instructions in comments and other horrors ...

Yes that sucks. So I have written / am writing my own code generation tool which runs only once and does not rely on any fancy instructions in comments. Ah yes ... maybe `go generate`. I hate a slow compiler.
