DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will illustrate the promise of generative pro
 gramming\n-- writing expressive high-level programs that generate fast low
 -level\ncode at runtime -- by turning interpreters into compilers\, and ev
 en\ncollapsing towers of interpreters into one-pass compilers. Examples\ni
 nclude regular expression matchers\, program transformers\, SQL\nengines\,
  and conceptually infinite reflective towers of interpreters.\n
