Parsers are really easy to write code generators for. The hard part is generating the parse tables - the data used to generate the code, not the generation itself. I decided I wanted something a little more challenging in terms of codegen itself.
I'm writing a generator to implement a GoF visitor pattern over arbitrary .NET types. I tend to use them for searching object trees. It's easier than LINQ for really complicated queries, or queries where there's a lot of nests, /w undetermined paths.
How many of you actually employ such a pattern? Or do you all stick to LINQ now?

Isn't functional programming outdated?

I think a lot of people would disagree. Why do you say so? What about languages like F#, Haskell, Scheme, and technically when you think about it - SQL?

Not 100% sure... It was supported in all .Net 4.xx but I am not sure if it is being included in .Net 5
Still don't get the big overview.

I don't know if I get your meaning. Let me see if this clarifies. If I misunderstood you, I apologize in advance:
A visitor basically traverses an object tree for you, calling a Visit method or raising a Visit event for each object in the tree. This can allow you to examine each object and determine if it's what you're looking for, at that point allowing you to return it or even possibly modify it
Basically, primarily a visitor is an object tree querying device.

I meant the overview with .Net Core, .Net 5, .Net XXX...

I've been writing some pretty basic tips and tricks lately on how to do some helpful things in C#. It's more general audience type stuff.

I figured it had to be Star Wars related, but I didn't recall how.
I simply had to look it up to see if you were implying that Luke was a tauntaun fancier.

While we are admitting potentially embarrassing facts about ourselves to this group, I don't know much about Star Trek. And proud of it.
