Just like metadata is data about data, metaprogramming is writing programs that manipulate programs. It's a common perception that metaprograms are the programs that generate other programs. But the paradigm is even broader. All of the programs designed to read, analyze, transform, or modify themselves are examples of metaprogramming.
