The project I am leading at this point is a combination of c# and java. We use the reflection (or introspection) to make code generic. This saves project effort a big time.
You said :"...There's nothing that can be done with run-time introspection that cannot be done (better) by compile-time decision taking...". yes and no, some of the reflection code can be really smart, but when you done it at compile time, it ends up with ... something like a long life of if elsif.
The downside I suspect is performance. Still wait to be seen as the project is going. Nowadays you don't care whether it is slow, you care whether it is bearable.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
