I'm just wondering are there any programming languages allowing the programmer to set the program up to write itself or write code into the program file
this will be very handy to create games with real A.I.s unless there are any a lot of game development companies are gonna have a hard time keeping track of the
millions of if statements

We are not that advanced yet (I believe)...
But the millions of if statements are usually computed by the game engine (I believe again)...

However, modern AI is far from a jumble of if statements; there are much more concise ways to make decisions.
