Our Story
Dedicated to saving developers from repetitive code.
Our Mission
At PostSharp Technologies, we are driven by our passion for software development. We delight in the creative process and detest repetitive tasks. We value clean, concise code and favor simple architectures with fewer concepts. When our code doesn't align with the architecture, it concerns us, as we understand it can cause confusion for others as well.
We have turned our passion into our purpose. Our tools enable C# developers to maintain their dedication to clean code without the time loss and defects associated with boilerplate code, while fostering sound architecture and design patterns.
Unlike other code quality and productivity tools, Metalama and PostSharp allow you to implement features with fewer lines of code by dynamically generating boilerplate code, which is never stored in your source repository. Our frameworks enable you to enforce architecture rules and patterns specific to your project, resulting in consistent, concise, and maintainable code that enhances software development efficiency and reduces costs.
While we are fundamentally engineers, we have integrated concepts from both the hacking culture, such as interceptors, and the academic culture, including aspect-oriented programming and static analysis, into C#. As engineers, we prioritize design safety and scalability, acknowledging that our frameworks are often used by large teams with varying skill levels who maintain their products for extended periods.
Our unique approach to C# development has assisted numerous individual developers and large organizations in overcoming the challenges of code maintenance and scalability. For instance, we have proudly partnered with one of the largest healthcare imaging device vendors for over a decade. With PostSharp's assistance, they avoided writing a six-digit number of lines of code, resulting in substantial cost savings and a shorter time to market.
Origins of PostSharp Technologies
PostSharp Technologies was established in 2004 by Gael Fraiteur, following his experience with the monotony of writing boilerplate code in a telecom company.
Gael Fraiteur, Founder & CEO
With a passion for programming that began in childhood and led to the development of his first commercial application at age 13, Gael's vision to build aspect-oriented software providing .NET developers with the same productivity benefits enjoyed by the Java community became a reality in 2008 with the release of the first version of PostSharp. Since then, PostSharp Technologies has grown steadily to become a leading provider of meta-programming tools in .NET.
2009
PostSharp Technologies
The open-source project outgrew Gael's ability to maintain it in his spare time.
He established PostSharp Technologies and commenced work on a commercial version.
2023
First Stable Release of Metalama
In May 2023, the first stable release of Metalama was launched.
