Gen is the one of the best productivity tools I've used. It allows you to perform generative programming in a simple, wizard-driven environment, and integrates well with Visual C++ 6. It was the brainchild of Chris Sells, and developed by Chris and his team at DevelopMentor. It's an absolutely super product that I was thrilled to beta test (for version 1.5), and I regularly use it to lighten my C++ coding load.
Here is the e-mail message from DevelopMentor CTO Stu Holloway:
Hi faithful Gen users,
I apologize for not answering this thread sooner. As you know, Gen has been in limbo since DevelopMentor discontinued active development.
Well, limbo no more. We have decided that the best thing for our user base would be to open source Gen. Of course, open source means different things to different people, so now we are taking a pause to sort out both the open source terms and where the product will be hosted.
Expect a more detailed announcement soon.
Thanks,
Stuart Halloway
CTO, DevelopMentor
