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 Metalama used for in C# projects?
Metalama provides compile-time code generation, aspect-oriented programming, and architecture verification to automate repetitive patterns and enforce design rules within C# codebases.
How does Metalama integrate with development tools and builds?
Metalama integrates with Roslyn and MSBuild to run transformations at compile time and provide design-time feedback in Roslyn-aware editors and IDEs.
Are Metalama components open-source or proprietary?
Most core components are released under the MIT license; some IDE tooling and selected extensions remain proprietary and available as commercial add-ons.
Can Metalama validate architecture and report warnings?
Yes; Metalama can express architecture validation rules in C# and report warnings or errors at design time or during builds.
How are aspects created and applied in Metalama?
Developers write aspect classes or use existing aspect libraries, then apply them via attributes or bulk fabrics; templates use a C#-compatible T# syntax.
