If you have a question about this talk, please contact David Greaves.

In this talk, I will illustrate the promise of generative programming —writing expressive high-level programs that generate fast low-level code at runtime—by turning interpreters into compilers, and even collapsing towers of interpreters into one-pass compilers. Examples include regular expression matchers, program transformers, SQL engines, and conceptually infinite reflective towers of interpreters.
