Abstract
One of the strengths of dynamically typed languages is the area of metaprogramming, the ability to create dynamic behavior of code at runtime. In the years past, JavaScript, albeit being dynamically typed, lacked some key capabilities, however. In recent years, that has significantly changed, thanks to some new features. In this workshop, we will start with the fundamentals of metaprogramming, discuss injection and synthesis of properties and functions, and look at how we can benefit from these capabilities to create highly dynamic and flexible applications.
