C++ C# Java Typescript

Here is a list to track progress:

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing abstract base classes (e.g., AbstractCppCodegen.java, AbstractJavaCodegen.java) and identify common patterns for a chosen language (e.g., Python, Ruby). Create a similar abstract class that extracts shared logic from existing generators for that language.
