Minor point of clarification: it can't have runtime reflection, but in principle it could have compile time reflection.

And compile-time reflection will probably also continue to suck due to some irreconcilable limitations of type-safe generic specialization. Oh how I would love an equivalent to C++ template parameter packs…

No, the Rust Project recently made sure that Rust can't have compile-time reflection.

...yeah, that's really unfortunate. Part of why I said "in principle".

Can you expand on this? I'd love to read more on the subject.

Here is a short summary. The compile-time reflection project was stopped, and now nobody wants to touch that subject any more due to fear of getting the wrath of the Rust project again (the person responsible for the whole thing is still part of the leadership).
