Write Code That Writes Code
- ktpsns 7y agoThe author describes DSLs and the concept of a compiler. Some people might think of AI and LISP-like "programs that write even more intelligent programs", but that's not what compilers do. They only translate. Having said that, > Never write programs with your fingers, always write programs that make codes Obviously nobody writes a compiler for a mini problem which can solved with some scripting language instead. That's a waste of time. I wasted my time so many times when I wanted to invent a fancy new language. It can be na exercise but frequently doesn't get someone closer to getting the actual work done.
