	Metaprogramming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metaprogramming is the writing of programs that write or manipulate other programs (or themselves) as their data or that do part of the work that is otherwise done at runtime during compile time.
		The most common metaprogramming tool is a compiler which allows a programmer to write a relatively short program in a high-level language and uses it to write an equivalent assembly language or machine language program.
		Having the programming language itself as a first class data type (as in Lisp) is also very useful.

	Stratego / Meta Programming With Concrete Object Syntax
		Meta programs manipulate structured representations (abstract syntax) of programs.
		The distance between the concrete syntax meta-programmers use to reason about programs and the notation for abstract syntax manipulation provided by general purpose (meta-) programming languages is too great for many applications.
		As a case study, the addition of concrete syntax to the program transformation language Stratego is presented.

	[No title]
		Explainer: takes a program and an execution of it that led to an unexpected result, and tries to give as relevant as possible an explanation of the apparent or actual failure of the program (very primitive incarnations of such programs are widespread under the name of debuggers).
		To provide each program and each user at each moment with a representation of the considered objects that be as adapted as possible to his current interests, there needs be metaprograms that enforce consistence in time and space between the various aspects of these objects.
		Hiding the sources of programs is putting a brake on the communication of described structures; and partitioned development indeed leads to using low-level structures, that are both semantically poor, and ridden with useless cumbersome details.

		Meta tags are instructions and/or key words you add to your web pages to help some search engines index your web site.
		There are three meta tags you should be concerned with - the title, the description and the keywords meta tags.
		Meta tag programming is extremely important if you want your site to be visible in the search engines.

		She drew on many sources for inspiration: the valuable early work of Hubbard, her experiences in the Subud and Gurdjieff movements, intimate knowledge of the work of Fritz Perls, Eric Berne, Assagioli and many others, and her work as an artist gave her that breadth of vision which is essential to obtain insight.

	JOT: Journal of Object Technology - Refactoring as Meta Programming?, Dave Thomas
		While there is little experience as yet with querying programs, largely due to the awkwardness of expressing the queries, it seems that some form of interactive query refinement process holds promise to allow more generic queries to be refined based on inclusion or exclusion of specific contexts.
		Once we accept that it is useful to write programs (queries) to understand programs, it is a natural progression to think about other meta programs that would be useful.
		Refactoring programs could be validated by refactoring compilers to determine the impact of changes and ensure correctness of resulting programs.

	Declarative semantics of a meta-programming language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		We present a logical programming language, generative clause programs, which generalize definite clause programs with a meta-programming level.
		The fundamental notion in the language is that of a meta-goal which consists of a plain goal together with a program in which it is expected to be true.
		The procedural semantics is considered in terms of an interpreter program and a compiler for the language.

		Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters.
		Recent developments in functional and object-oriented programming lead the organizers of this workshop to believe that there is sufficient interest to warrant the organisation of a one-day workshop on the theme of generic programming.
		In adaptive programming a program is split into a class graph and other aspectual descriptions and the class graph is referenced in those descriptions through traversal strategies, also called succinct path set specifications.

		The Meta Programming System (MPS) is a new programming environment which makes it easy to define your own specialized languages, and use them together with any other language, as you see fit.
		MPS is an implementation of Language Oriented Programming, whose goal is to make defining languages as natural and easy as defining classes and methods is today.
		The purpose is to "raise the level of abstraction", which has been a major goal of programming since the first assembly language was born.

	Meta-Programming Is Fun \| www.kdedevelopers.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		But there is a way out: Put the boring repetitive schematic work into code, write a program that does this job for you and stick to the interesting and challenging parts of programming.
		The consequence of this for me was to write a program which generates the simple, but tedious code automatically, so that the application developer can focus on more important tasks.
		I have found that though i did not intend to do so, some of my programs would have code generators and teh code interacting with the generated code, so my only recourse was to stick to a strict process.

		In programming, we can have similar problems with language, only it's the limitations of a programming language, instead of the natural language with which we can talk about programming and, hopefully, everything else.
		Every programming language has a problem domain that suits it well, and the more specialised a language is, the smaller its domain may be, but it'll also make solving such problems easier in that language.
		In a C program, the query could be compiled into code in C code, but all you see is the SQL expression, and the code that uses the results.

	Meta-Logics and Logic Programming - The MIT Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Meta-programming -- the process of writing computer programs that can manipulate representations of other programs -- has been key both in the foundations of computer science and in its practical developments.
		The choice of logic programming as a basis for meta-programming offers several practical and theoretical advantages: among them, the possibility of tackling critical foundational problems of meta-programming within a strong theoretical framework, and the surprising ease of programming.
		The usual framework of logic programming (and more generally first-order logic), however, has to be modified and extended to formally deal with meta-programs, extensions the editors call "meta-logics." Along with an exploration of meta-programming in logic programming, the definitions, formal properties, and use of these extensions constitute one of the book's main themes.

		We propose a new extension to the purely functional programming language Haskell that supports compile-time meta-programming.
		The purpose of the system is to support the algorithmic construction of programs at compile-time.
		The ability to generate code at compile time allows the programmer to implement such features as polytypic programs, macro-like expansion, user directed optimization (such as inlining), and the generation of supporting data structures and functions from existing data structures and functions.

		As a starting point a knowledge base system has been implemented using the meta-programming facilities of the logic programming language Godel and the ground representation of object-programs at the meta-level.
		The second approach is an attempt to involve partial evaluation to specialise the update procedures of the assimilator with respect to a specific knowledge base and integrity constraint theory.
		It is known that partial evaluation can be used to improve the efficiency of programs, especially meta-programs which use the ground representation.

	Our Research on Declarative Meta Programming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For this, we require that the logic meta-programming language lives in symbiosis with the object-oriented base language, allowing base level programs to be manipulated as terms, facts or rules in the meta level.
		In the case of Java, which is a statically typed language, this meta layer might be implemented as a preprocessor or even an extension of the Java compiler itself.
		In general, what is understood by "declarative" programming is that it is focussed on what the program is supposed to do rather than on how it will achieve its tasks.
