Techniques are described herein that are capable of creating a language-agnostic computer program repair engine generator. A context-free grammar is annotated to identify token(s) that are likely to be included in or excluded from a computer program in a manner that violates the context-free grammar. A language-agnostic computer program repair engine generator is created that is configured to generate a parser. The repair engine generator is configured to create a repair engine that: converts the candidate string into repaired strings that neither violate the context-free grammar nor violate a criterion for a valid computer program; calculates differences between the candidate string and the respective repaired strings; and replaces the candidate string with a designated repaired string based at least in part on the difference between the designated repaired string and the candidate string being less than or equal to a difference threshold.
