Generic programming
Generic programming is a way of computer programming where algorithms are written in an extended grammar and are made adaptable by specifying variable parts that are then somehow instantiated later by the compiler with respect to the base grammar. Specifically, the extended grammar raises a non-variable element or implicit construct in the base grammar to a variable or constant and allows generic code to be used, usually implementing common software patterns that are already expressible in the base language.
