C++ code generator for Xstate released

[shuvalov-mdb]

I decided to provide Xstate goodies to server-side C++ developers with C++ generator, ready for production.
Essentially it's a TypeScript library with templates, sourcing Xstate Machine as data model to generate C++.
Github: https://github.com/shuvalov-mdb/xstate-cpp-generator
NPM package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/xstate-cpp-generator

Please post here what you think, I don't have any other message board.

This is really awesome, I'm going to have to play around with it! I added it to the resources page.

Awesome work!

I have few questions, regarding using code generator path for devops task:

• Is it (easily) achievable to plug C++ generated code into golang? Assuming that side effects (entry, exit, on transition) to be implemented in golang.
• Timers in C++ template, has comments that they start new thread and put it on pause. However, XState itself runs single-threaded. What was motivation behind introducing multi-threaded (and locks) into xstate-cpp-generator?
• How much effort would be to do similar generator for golang?
• Could generated code connect to xstate inspector, same as XState do from browser?
