According to Chapter 9 of
GenerativeProgramming:
a generator is a program that takes a higher-level specification of piece of software and produces its implementation. Generators address the following issues:
- Raising the intentionality of system descriptions
- Computing an efficient implementation
- Avoiding the library scaling problem
Chapter 9 of
GenerativeProgramming discusses
GenVoca in quite some detail as an example generator.
