I too am interested in the questions @dweawyn is asking. This talk gave me a glimpse of the data driven design that would make Mike Acton proud - something that I've been searching for - but it also gave me pause. One of my biggest hesitations is how to integrate this system with all the assets that I use from the asset store. I think I will start by using this framework to manage only a couple of systems and see how that works or if there is anything I can contribute back (at the very least feedback).
But the talk was very well done. One of my favorite Unite talks for sure.

After taking some time to play with this I found the generated code to be a little frustrating. Adding or removing a property to an entity meant that I needed to do 3 builds:
Add property
Build
Generate (starts building)
After generating there will be compiler errors everywhere we create that entity.
Fix those errors
Build again
I wasn't really happy about this. In big projects where building takes a while this could be deal breaker. The alternative is to manually look up the array index for the component, which I will play around with to see if it's reasonable.
