> A programmable programming language? Aren't all languages like that?

How would you write a program to write a program? How can you use this generated program in your other code? It's really hard to do with a lot of programming languages, even those that have eval like JavaScript, so it never occurs to people that something like a template system or a code translator/DSL should be trivially easy to write.
