[Cog: A Code Generation Tool Written in Python](http://www.python.org/about/success/cog/); this is apparently an old tool (blog date 2004), that I had never heard about before. But, the idea of code generation is a useful one, and something Lisps do really well, and is a core part of their identity "code is data".

[nim](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/nim) among other languages also have this "metaprogramming" ability.
