Reflection is inherently unsafe. Even something as relatively simple as a JSON de/serializer can blow up in your face. Source generators are compile-time safe.

Reflection is inherently unsafe. Even something as relatively simple as a JSON de/serializer can blow up in your face. Source generators are compile-time safe. Well, unless they generate unsafe code, of course, but most of them shouldn't and don't. They're also safer in a broader sense in that any "implicit" changes will show up in the version control history, if you commit the generated code (which you should!).
