If you don't want to use code generation, go back to assembly language.

Or did you not know what a compiler does? (Yes, modern "interpreters" have a compilation step.)

Of course if you understand what a compiler does, the only question is whether you should be limited to what your official compiler is doing for you. (There are arguments pro and con, but it really isn't as simple as just saying no.)



I am excluding the compiler. Yes it should be limited.
