About this software
Metalama is a Roslyn-based meta-programming framework for C# that performs compile-time code generation, aspect-oriented programming, and architecture verification. It automates repetitive patterns, enforces architecture rules, and reports design-time warnings while producing debuggable C# output that integrates with MSBuild and Roslyn-aware editors.
Core framework components are open-source under MIT; Visual Studio tooling and selected advanced extensions remain proprietary add-ons offered separately.

Frequently asked questions
What is Sharpcrafters Metalama?
Sharpcrafters Metalama is a metaprogramming and aspect-oriented code-transformation platform for .NET, used to automate code generation and reduce boilerplate during compilation.
How is Metalama used in development workflows?
It implements cross-cutting concerns and repetitive patterns at compile time, generating or modifying code to enforce architectures and reduce manual boilerplate across projects.
Which languages and platforms does Metalama support?
Metalama targets the .NET ecosystem and is commonly applied to C# projects; it operates during compilation and produces artifacts compatible with .NET build outputs.
How do Metalama-generated transformations affect debugging?
Transformations occur at compile time so generated code appears in build output; stack traces and debugging sessions reflect the transformed code, allowing inspection of generated members.
