Hi.

Last Friday, I had a beautiful "StringTemplate code generation  
moment" when working on ANTLR v3; it was cool enough that I wrote up  
a big blurb in the "blog":

http://www.antlr.org/blog/antlr3/codegen.tml

Here's the key insight: lazy evaluation is insanely useful when  
building translators (the blog entry describes a great example).   
Don't build code generators without StringTemplate! ;)
