Reflection really was the missing piece, it's one of the things that are so nice in Java. Being able to serialize/deserialize a struct to JSON fully dynamically saves a lot of code.

Nb. This is fully static reflection, not runtime like in Java.

  • You can do static reflection in Java with compiler plugins.

    These are the kind of features many folks skip over, as they are niche and require a bit of boilerplate.
