Metaprocédéres

Metaprocédéres refers to a set of techniques and principles used in computer science and programming that deal with the manipulation or generation of programs themselves, rather than just data. It's a form of metaprogramming where a program is designed to write or modify other programs. This can involve writing code that generates other code, or code that analyzes and transforms existing code. A key concept within metaprocédéres is that code is treated as data, allowing for complex transformations and optimizations. Common applications include code generation, macro expansion, and the development of domain-specific languages (DSLs). Metaprocédéres can enhance productivity by automating repetitive coding tasks and allowing for more expressive and concise solutions to complex problems. However, it can also introduce complexity and make code harder to understand if not implemented carefully. The term itself suggests a procedural approach to operating on procedures or programs.
