Get introduced to the concept of metaprogramming. Learn how to level up your programming skills by discovering the full potential of the macro system in Elixir. Understand the ins and outs of metaprogramming at a fundamental level and write incredible libraries by doing more with less code.

Metaprogramming in Elixir

`Macro.escape` is used to take an Elixir literal and recursively escape it for injection into an AST. Its use is required when we need to inject an Elixir value into an _already-quoted_ expression where the value is not an AST literal.

> A working example of its use in the __Code Generation from Git API__ project is given in the  [next](https://www.educative.io/courses/metaprogramming-elixir/code-generation-from-remote-apis) lesson!
