Hofstadter: A Polyglot Code Generation Framework

Contributor here, AMA

We thought of a new way to describe Hof modules, as modules which span multiple languages and technologies, where you can bring in and configure more complete functionality.

For example, when you import a database module, you would get the libraries, an ORM like interface, tools and scripts running the db in multiple environments and managing migrations. Another would be a backend server, which will bring in the DB module, while having its own bells and whistles for things like monitoring, logging, env and ci setup from dev to prod, feature flags, etc. The list could get quite long.

The main idea is higher level modules with more abstract config that can be combined to get all the other things you need around your applications.

Does this make sense or seem useful?
