Actually this is (sort of)
becoming more common.
I suppose it's been around in interpreted languages for years. No doubt
you-know-who will claim they invented it though (and worse still, most
of the users will believe them)
Or they will try to patent it.
This means that any program can
write source code to a string (or other structure) and compile and
execute
it!!!!!!
Sounds like a dream come true for virus writers :-)
