Regen is an intuitive in-code templating engine based on a C#-Python like regen-lang created to replace T4 Templating.
Regen as a template compiler/engine allows to expand in-line templates to be compiled into C# code and inserted into the same source file.
It is mainly used to generate repetitive code - for instance the efficient handling of primitive types without boxing requires a branch for every type that executes the same operation.
Current version: 0.27a-2
Regen is shipped as a visual studio extension (VSIX) and currently supports vs2017 and vs2019.
Official releases can be downloaded here or in the releases page.
Regen provides a handy Visual Studio plugin which compiles embedded regen-lang templates in your C# source files.

Expectations
- Any new feature is expected to be fully tested.

These libraries heavily rely on Regen to generate repetitive code:
