Code Generation with TypeScript
The document discusses code generation using TypeScript, highlighting the contributions of two enthusiasts, Benny and Florian. It details the process through various iterations, emphasizing the use of the TypeScript compiler's API and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for syntax checking and output generation. The document also includes links to relevant resources and encourages questions through a demo repository.

- 18. Code Generation Nodes (AST) A programis basically a sequence of statements. All expressions and statements can be represented as nodes and subtrees. Printer Prints a node and its subtree as-is, without any emit transformations. The result is a stringified version of the source code. Source File A destination file that provides context for the node. Can be written with a wrapper method like ts.sys.write File. 18
