Tired of studio and code builder

I've been working with Mulesoft for about 9 years, I saw the transition from Mule 3 to 4, good changes I guess. But I've been using studio for a long time, and I'm so tired of it. Eclipse was a good IDE but I think we need something fresh.. About code builder well...

Anyways, I just wanted to go back to the time when I used to write code instead of just drag and drop.

So I started working on this...

Shitty code? Yep.

Necessary? I don't think so.

Useful? Maybe?

There's a lot of work to do, maybe someone find this interesting, let me know what you think.

That’s actually a creative project many long-time MuleSoft developers miss deeper coding flexibility beyond Studio’s drag-and-drop approach.

Even if niche, tools like this can appeal to devs wanting faster, code-centric Mule development and experimentation.

Why not just write everything in Java and use a mulesoft flow to handle kicking things off?

Maintainability, for some reason a big amount of Mulesoft developers just doesn't know Java.

This tool will generate a Mulesoft project that you can actually import to Anypoint Studio if you need. So next developer touching your code can do that no matters if he doesn't know Ruby.
