metametaprogramming (verb.) The act of talking about people talking about programming, rather than doing any actual talking about programming.

  So is your comment metametametaprogramming?
  • fao_ 10y ago
    Every comment talking about ('meta' times n)-programming is ('meta' times (n+1))-programming :) So your comment is meta(metametametaprogramming). But this comment isn't meta(meta(metametametaprogramming)), because of this sentence :D

  When did the term lose its original meaning? [1] Or am I missing some kind of joke? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaprogramming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaprogramming

    It hasn't. The blog post is making a joke: "You might have thought that metaprogramming meant macros, type introspection, that kind of thing. Nope, I'm hijacking the word for today:"
