   Template meta-programming is useful to both generative and generic   
   programming.   
      
   Wikipedia says:   
   Generative programming is a style of computer programming that uses   
   automated source code creation through generic frames, classes,   
   prototypes, templates, aspects, and code generators to improve   
   programmer productivity. It is often related to code-reuse topics such   
   as component-based software engineering and product family   
   engineering.   
      
   You can find many resources about the value of those topics online.
