Benefits of Drasil

Drasil's use of generative programming has a transformative impact on the development process. Here we collect examples demonstrating how Drasil's generative approach simplifies the development process, enhances code quality, and ensures the reliability of your projects.

Cosmetic changes made easy: Our generated code was missing an empty line between the header comment block and the start of the code. A one-line change fixed this issue; at the time of this change, this resulted in updates to 175 files, i.e. eliminating the need for 175 manual edits.

Streamlined LaTeX updates: The rendering of the multiplication operator in LaTeX was updated, requiring only a 4-line change of Drasil code. This small adjustment resulted in approximately 1360 modifications across 67 files of generated code, showcasing the efficiency of Drasil’s generative approach.
