Intermediate Language (IL) Weaving is a powerful technique that allows us to greatly simplify the experience of developers. Specifically, developers using the NET Realm SDK by hiding a fair amount of complexity from end-users. Working with a weaver, though, is tedious, error prone and the resulting code is a black box. These are some of the reasons that convinced us to migrate to Source Generators, a feature introduced in NET 5, that allows us to produce code on the fly during compilation. Do you have an interest in IL Weaving and Source Generators or do you have questions to this topic such as: What is IL weaving? What are Source Generators and why are they used instead of IL weaving?

This talk will go through the reasons why IL Weaving was used in the first place, our long journey switching to Source Generators and why they do not yet satisfy all our needs. Listen to this talk, and meet Ferdinando Papale present this topic at Driving IT 2022.
