Code generation achieves the same effect with more work and without a standard abstraction in the language it takes more effort to understand. Using general purpose primitives that are blessed to be generic similarly takes more work to understand when it exposes too many underlying implementation details. A nice wrapper class would work much better. I don’t agree that using piles of built in objects makes the code easier to understand. If I want a Tree<Node, Node, Value>, how is using lists of lists and integer pairs making my code easier to reason about? Or using code generation to make reams of classes that create a Tree for everything I want, and anyone who uses my functions? How is encouraging either of those things a positive?
