Programming language for self-modifying code?


Can you suggest a powerful language or feature that supports modifying code in runtime?

Example

This is what I mean by modifying code in runtime:

  Start:
  a=10,b=20,c=0;
  label1: c=a+b;
  ....
  label1= c=a*b;
  goto label1;

and may be building a list of instructions:

  code1.add(c=a+b);
  code1.add(c=c*(c-1));
  code1. execute();

Solution

  • Malbolge would be a good place to start. Every instruction is self-modifying, and it's a lot of fun(*) to play with.
