Let's stop calling "dynamic" and "static" versus "runtime" and "comptime" instead ? Also, "dynamic code generation" for "meta programming" ?

- ablob 4y agostatic and dynamic refers to where you find an object, not when it lives. Some people like to know which type of meta programming is being used at a given point. This is something akin to "all dynamic code generation is meta programming, but not all meta programming is dynamic code generation". One should be careful to not merge or eliminate words with subtle differences. They usually exist for a reason.
