C++ is a metacompiler

C++17 and higher offer enough grammatical tools to support meta compilation.

A meta compiler is a paradigm of self similarity where at compile time one can lex, parse, and translate domain specific languages (embedded in string literals) to meta assembly code analogous to object code. This meta assembly can further be passed to a general purpose compile time engine creating constexpr functions for use at either compile time or run time.

This talk will demonstrate how this is possible, as well as the benefits in doing so.
