> Some programming languages have long had powerful reflection capabilities, but they are mostly a runtime feature: they do not allow the equivalent of generating code. Other programming languages allow compile-time logic generation but they do not always allow optimal performance. Lisp casually waves from the bleachers, then goes back to high speed coding with metasyntactic macros and reflection (and so much more).
