Code Generation
When the ever-increasing power of processors
is taken into consideration, the speed-related drawbacks to interpreted
languages (like Perl) become less noticeable. The fact that you can
view the source before you execute it (when not compiled) becomes a
significant advantage for security, for reliability, and for custom
solutions.
Combine this with database tools that use
XML tags and self-documented code.
What wed have would be source code
that is truly re-usable, because tools would be able to search large
databases (CVS repositories) and find useful, commented code fragments.
We would then be on the verge of having
Code Generation tools that can find, combine, and compile any number
of permutations of distributed source code.
