Let's Code an Incremental Source Generator with Roslyn

Explore the world of incremental source generators with Roslyn in this live coding session from NDC Oslo 2023. Discover how to trade compile-time for improved run-time performance by creating optimized, auto-generated variants of types and methods. Learn to implement a fully operational incremental source generator using test-driven development, while uncovering the intricacies and benefits of this Roslyn-based metaprogramming technique. Gain insights into facilitating high-performance scenarios, such as Reflection-free source generation, and understand how incremental generators mitigate the risk of sluggish developer experiences in large projects. Conclude the session by evaluating the technical quality of the resulting component through benchmarking and mutation testing.
