Refactoring as Meta Programming?
By: Dave Thomas
Abstract
Refactoring is widely acknowledged as one of the best practices of OO programming. It has been widely practiced in the functional and procedural community in one form or other for many years. Refactoring is a process that takes an existing program and improves it by transforming the program into a new program that is an improved version of the initial program.
