I was expecting it to come earlier but never disappoint when it finally arrives. This will definitely make the Stripe ecosystem (apps, developers, etc) even stronger.
No, we built our first code generator from scratch in 2014 [1]. I don't think most of these projects existed at the time. Our current CodeGen has always been written-from-scratch, propriety code. Our focus is also a bit different from these projects: we aim to cover as much of the OpenAPI format feature-set while generating consistent, high-quality, well-designed SDKs (should be as good as a good engineer can produce). To complete the Developer Experience of the API, we also generate complete API documentation site as well [4].
Back in 2014, OpenAPI didn't even exist. The latest API specification format was Swagger 1.2 and it was not very mature at that point. We had to build a lot of vendor extensions to cover the various REST API use-cases that API folks take for granted today.
Today, we also run the most-used API Spec format convertor tool in the world by the name of API Transformer [2]; this tool has helped a lot of companies migrate from an older spec formats like OpenAPI 2 and RAML to OpenAPI 3. We support nearly all API specification formats including RAML, OpenAPI (2., 3.), Blueprint, Postman, WADL and more.[3]
Banks did a lot of money laundering for drug dealers, terrorists, etc before (maybe they're still doing it today) but that doesn't mean all those working at banks are bad.
If a bank was created with that purpose in mind I guess it's bad. NSO was created to hack people's phones. I guess there's a legit use, but then, maybe they got greedy and sold to governments that define "crime" and "terrorism" quite a bit different from us.
Define bad. Are these employees actively involved in an organization that has demonstrated the inability to function in a socially responsible and cohesive manner?
