There's but a fine line between generative algorithms used for the purposes of arts and entertainment

and those used for programming itself.

Formerly referred to as meta-programming

generative programming is the art of writing programs that help generate programs

sort of a way of extending the idea of the tool as in programming tool

beyond its current rather static avatar that consists merely of a rather lifeless IDE
