Metaprogramming Patterns

Cross-language reference for metaprogramming mechanisms including decorators, macros, annotations, and code generation. This skill helps translate metaprogramming patterns between languages during code conversion.

Overview

This skill covers:

• Decorator/annotation/attribute comparison across languages
• Macro systems (compile-time vs runtime)
• Code generation patterns
• Translation strategies between paradigms

This skill does NOT cover:

• Language-specific metaprogramming tutorials (see lang-*-dev skills)
• Building specific decorators/macros for applications
• Runtime reflection for debugging (see language-specific skills)
