Hi Darrin I'd contend code generation isn't particularly hard or even tedious, but there are two big problems. One, its inflexible - its almost always easier to change code in the target language than a generator. Two, in essence a generator already contains the target program plus the scaffolding to generate it. If you don't have many variations to generate it is more work (often much more work) to make a generator rather than hand code the target language program. Best wishes Stephen
