I'll be a nice guy and pretend this malware is not your project:

and that you are asking a legitimate question here.

It is difficult to provide real constructive opinions without fully
grasping the practical application of such an endeavor, especially
given the ambiguity of your description.

Computer programs provide a wide variety of services ranging from problem
solving to entertainment.  To the general population it is more than enough
to be able to find a program in its distribution format from a trusted
source.

What you seem to be suggesting, however, is a program that produces program
 code or source code.  To me, such a thing only has practical value to a
 select few groups, of which are primarly programmers.

So this begs to question, why does a programmer need a program that starts
 code?

Feel free to elaborate more clearly as to what exactly your project's goals
are rather than asking people to run your code without some detailed 
explanation.
