That's the idea behind metaprogramming, after all. You write something
that gets turned into code for whatever your actual situation is :)

We don't know which ones we're keeping until some time later. Normally
about 10 hours later, if it's automated, or as much as a week if I let
it pile up while I'm doing something else.
As for what we're doing with it, I'll have to defer answering that until
our company goes "live" in a couple weeks.

And if the metaprogramming was built into the compiler, I'd agree that C
is nicely portable. :-)
C isn't portable. C + autoconf + the dozen tools that autoconf depends
on + knowing all the arcane invocations you need to include to use
autoconf is what's portable.
I mean, heck, 6502 assembler is portable, if you write a program to
interpret it on a bunch of other machines, yes?

According to Google it's about delivering targeted ads based on
automagically recognised audio (rather than text) samples.

They work for what they're designed for - I use awk quite a bit, perl
occasionally, and shell scripts on rare occasions.
But if I wanted to write something that was usuable by a general computer
user, I'd look to develop in a compiled language, as a general rule.

The kind of tasks I typically want to do involve heavy number crunching.
Scripting languages aren't terribly suitable to this...

Damn. So much for "stealth mode." Even our partners are ratting us out. :-)

BTW I'm wondering what kind of audio input would be likely to cause a flow a
Viagra ads via SMS. Will it recognise panting and moans? I can't wait for
spammers to get hold of this technology ;)

Of course not. If there are moans, Viagra wasn't needed.
It will just recognize male voice saying "I swear this is the first time
this happens to me". (or female voice saying "*that* is all?", etc; you
get the idea).

Yes, but if the system is really smart it will detect the duration and
intensity of the moans. For instance low intensity moans during less than 30
s will get all your gizmos from cell-phones to PDAs to start flashing both
penis enlargement and Viagra ads.
I just hope that the tech is smarter than Google Adsense, that still insists
in displaying ads about "Free mature models of 1000s of Beautiful Mature
Women" because my website contains 3D computer models.
