Programs as data. A generalised idea of first-order functions. Simplest example: self-modifying programs. It’s a very simple idea that has been blown up by academia.

That time you used notepad++ search and replace to turn a list of anii to a list of sequel commands, each inserting one anus into the table? Metaprogramming basically.

And lisp is adequate because a lisp program is just a nested linked list and can be operated on. (+ 5 (* 2 4)) is the same object as (define anux (* 3 3)). Both can be carred and cuddered.

Programs as data.
Then how do you perform data execution prevention? Saying data == code is bad for security.

Algorithmically determine the trust level of the data source before execution.

Wrong, it has nothing to do with first order functions.

Algorithmically
just a buzzword, you gotta be specific

How do you not accidentaly run os.exec instead of io.echo on "sudo rm -rf /"? HIBT?

Metaprogramming is a design method that creates code dynamically from requirements , like a mix of abstract factory and builder pattern.
