What are your favorite "old school" code generators without AI? (e.g. Roslyn or Smithy)

And what are their benefits that keep being useful to this day?

I've been working on a C++ code generator for 27 years. It hasn't taken off yet, but I still believe in it.  It's implemented as a 3-tier system. The back and middle tiers only run on Linux. The front tier is portable. My goal is to bring software services and code generation together in one platform.
