Why the kitgen has been removed? and which codegen i should use for go-kit?

[Albert-Gao]

hi, love the project, but want to work with a codegen,

I found this PR: https://github.com/go-kit/kit/pull/589/files

but the code has been removed,

and all the code gen projects in the readme file are outdated, only 1 repo over there says updated 2 months ago, and under heavy dev, so things are changing.

i am wondering what is the official stance on this subject?

or does the gokit community prefers manual copy and paste all boilerplate code for a reason?

thanks :)

I don't consider the code generated by e.g. kitgen to be boilerplate. There are alternative code generators enumerated in the README under the Code generators section.

Thanks for the reply, but all the codegen in the readme are outdated as I mentioned..

so i guess codegen is not officially supported?

Codegen is not officially supported, correct.

How about goa? It can be created as a plug-in.
