meta-programming

Meta-programming is a technique in programming where code writes or modifies other code. Instead of just executing tasks, a program uses meta-programming to analyze, generate, or change its own structure during development or runtime. This allows for more flexible, reusable, and efficient code, as it can adapt to different situations without rewriting from scratch. Think of it as a recipe that can change itself depending on the ingredients or tastes, making software development more adaptable and powerful.
