	Erowid Metaprogramming Vaults : "Get With the Metaprogram" by James Kent
		Metaprogramming begins in that split second when a pre-scripted program consciously begins to rewrite itself.
		Indeed, the act of metaprogramming may be the ultimate benchmark of a conscious system - I metaprogram, therefore I am.
		This process is called metaprogramming- and it begins and ends with the self.

	Template metaprogramming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Template metaprogramming is a programming technique in which templates are used in unusual ways so that the compiler, in the act of compiling the code, executes a program.
		In C++, template metaprogramming is Turing-complete, meaning that any computation expressible by a computer program can be computed, in some form, by a template metaprogram.
		A result of this is that, unlike run-time C++, template metaprogramming is a form of functional programming.

	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.
		Another still fairly common example of metaprogramming might be found in the use of lex (see also: flex) and yacc (see also: bison), which are used to generate compilers and interpreters.

	What Is Metaprogramming?
		This is a metaprogram because its commands us to examine the programs in ourselves that form opinions, and seek out and examine more fully those opinions that seem to have come from "outside sources".
		That is the Metaprogramming Model: A person who feels a desire to change themselves can examine themselves through the metaphor of programs, and then create metaprograms in order to organize and manage their inherent programs such that they effect the change in themselves that they desire.
		Metaprogramming falls into a very old tradition in that it offers not only a tool, but a whole way of thinking and being for those who are looking for such things.

		Metaprogramming isn't particularly complicated idea to formalize, once you decide to do it; actually, all the underlying ideas already exist, and await to be gathered into a coherent whole.
		In general, metaprogramming allows for optimal cost with respect to complexity; its gains as compared to the traditional approach are proportional to the size of the project in the inevitable case where structural changes with global effects are necessary.
		Metaprogramming and free availability of sources consist in opening programs to all processing and modifications, made by man or by the machine; all in all, it's a matter of opening programs to intelligibility, of participating in a process of building a shared knowledge, that is, of science!

	John Lilly - Programming & Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer
		Metaprogramming appears at a critical cortical size-the cerebral computer must have a large enough number of interconnected circuits of sufficient quality for the operations of metaprogramming to exist in that biocomputer.
		One must analyze this metaprogram that has been implanted in one from childhood, examine its rationality or lack of same and proceed in spite of this kind of an interpretation of the phenomena that occur.
		Above all these metaprograms to be experimented upon is one metaprogram of value to this subject his overall policy is the intent to explore, to observe, to analyze.

		Metaprogramming consists of programming a program.”; In other words, we lay out code that the programming system executes to generate new code that implements the functionality we really want.
		Usually the term metaprogramming implies a reflexive attribute: The metaprogramming component is part of the program for which it generates a bit of code/program.
		Metaprogramming often relies on the concepts of traits and type functions as developed in Chapter 15.

	Metaprogramming in Heron \| Lambda the Ultimate
		Metaprogramming refers to the design of algorithms that are executed during compilation (compile-time) as opposed to during run-time.
		The specific metaprogramming operations being runtime or compile-time is a completely orthogonal issue.
		A compiler can be seen as a metaprogramming tool, I believe, although it seems to be more usual to refer as metaprogramming when the output is a program in source form.

	Template Metaprogramming - ©2001 Josh Walker
		Metaprogramming can facilitate increased performance by computing performance-critical results at compile time or using compile-time logic to choose the best algorithm for the job.
		The basic tools of metaprogramming consist of constructions that should be familiar to most C++ programmers: compile-time constants, typedefs, template specialization, and recursive templates.
		The mechanics of metaprogramming may require a readjustment from the regular C++ programmer, since the C++ metaprogramming sublanguage resembles a dynamically-typed functional language.

	Meta Programming
		A metaprogram is a program that manipulates other programs (or itself) as its data.
		Metaprogramming is what you do with CeePlusPlus templates or CommonLisp macros: defining the content of (part of) a program by writing code that generates it.
		Note: In this section, the discussion is limited to "application-specific" metaprogramming, where a project team or organization hacks up some custom language, along with implementing a translator for it (the translator can be anything from a runtime interpreter, macro hackery (either for an internal preprocessor such as CPP or an external one such as EmFour?

		The template metaprogram version generates either statement1 or statement2, depending on whether condition is true.
		The template metaprogram version generates one of statement1, statement2, or default- statement depending on the value of I. Again, since I is used as a template argument, its value must be known at compile time.
		Writing a template metaprogram version of this function, the argument N is passed as a template parameter, and the four temporary variables (bit0,bit1,bit2,bit3) are replaced by enumerative types:

	Template Metaprogramming
		In this case, a metaprogram may calculate, at compile-time, the size of signed char, short, int, and long, and decide which type to use for the desired resolution.
		The overall solution is simple: the primary definition of the template metaprogram looks for the smallest integral with enough bits; explicit specializations for each integral type provide the termination anchors for the recursive lookup.
		Handling errors in a metaprogram may require a creative approach, as there are few error-reporting facilities available at compile-time, when the metaprogram is run.
