Same here. I've worked on one project that used code generation to implement a DSL, but that would have been the same in any implementation language, it was basically transpiring. And protobufs, of course, but again, that's true in all languages.

The only thing I can think of that Go uses a lot of generation for that other languages have other solutions for is mocks. But in many languages the solution is "write the mocks by hand", so that's hardly fair.
