A Brief look at Metaprogramming and JIT Compilers

Video Description

Despite being treated differently, Code and Data are surprisingly similar. This idea is the basis behind Metaprogramming as well as Compilers and JIT Compilers, and is very powerful and useful for many projects. Big thanks to @Mr4thProgramming as well as @yasser25-e1o for proofreading the script!

Yes, and the only reason I mentioned it is because I made that system for JAI: https://github.com/PixelRifts/Jai-Shader-Transpiler Animations were made using: https://motioncanvas.io/ Yes, I should really invest in better audio.
