__Today is a good day to try__. After a couple of early demonstrators, today's release is the first mature one and we consider it to be an almost production-ready product except for a few features and testing. If you have a small, fresh project, it’s a good time to try Metalama to see what it’s capable of. __Metalama is the successor of PostSharp__. Metalama surpasses PostSharp in many regards including design-time experience, ease of use, platform support, performance, and debuggability. However, there are still feature gaps. It is not yet a good time to perform the big migration on your own. No worry! We will still be supporting PostSharp until Metalama will become a complete replacement, and even some time after this milestone. __We will provide caviar support to early adopters.__ If you’re using PostSharp and are excited to move to Metalama, [we would like to hear from you](https://www.postsharp.net/metalama/support#assisted-migration). According to Metalama’s readiness and our own capacities, we will do all we can to early adopters to port their code to Metalama. Any question now? [Join us on Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/metalama/shared_invite/zt-137spabhz-6DOZXVTTrN5dNXljwVmSsg) for anything. __You can use Metalama for free.__ Metalama is free during preview for everyone, but that's not all. You can continue with the free [Metalama Essentials](https://www.postsharp.net/metalama/pricing) which includes a broad set of features without limitation of project size or company size. We will also offer free licenses of our unlimited product for open-source projects, students & classrooms, MVPs, other influencers. --- ## Site navigation - Index of the whole site: [llms.txt](../llms.txt)
