The article keeps talking about how generative programming is supposedly
the future, yet it's rather scant on descriptions of what generative
programming actually *is*. For all I can tell, you could substitute
"Java" and "OO" as alternative buzzwords and it would read almost
exactly like Java promotional material from the 90's.

Fortunately, googling found the github repository, which contains links
to more concrete information than can be found through the article:

	http://stanford-ppl.github.io/Delite/

There's a link to the OptiML spec that, thankfully, makes it clear that
this is something primarily focused on machine learning and certain
categories of algorithms, rather than a one-size-fits-all miracle cure
that's slated to take over the entire programming world.
