==Is eval reflection?==

Line 176 ⟶ 177:

As someone unfamiliar with reflection, this article does a poor job of explaining what it is. I have a decent idea from the example section, but the rest of the article reads like an editorial on reflection, not a description. I think for starters the summary could be improved. It doesn't need to be so long, and it only needs to summarize what reflection is in a short and concise way. It also contains some confusing grammar. For example, "More generally, reflection is an activity in computation that allows an object to have information about the structure and reason about its own computation." Information about the reason about its own computation? I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. It would be great if someone with the knowledge could make this article more clear to people not familiar with the topic. --[[User:JRavn|JRavn]] 15:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:: Agreed. The description is not clear for someone unfamiliar with reflection. [[User:Praslisa|Praslisa]] ([[User talk:Praslisa|talk]]) 21:02, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

:: Indeed, the article doesn't explain anything. This is what's called 'cyber rub bish'. Also, the correction was asked in 2006. It hasn't been done by 2011. Now it is 2018 some 11.5 years later - nothing changed. Now this is why the whole wikipedia is cyber rubbb ish. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/115.70.29.185|115.70.29.185]] ([[User talk:115.70.29.185#top|talk]]) 03:53, 22 January 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Weak examples ==

All the code examples of reflection just regard what's [[dynamic dispatch]], but reflection is ''much more''. Better example needed. <span style="color: #800000; background-color: #FFFF80; padding: 1px 2px 3px 2px">''Said: [[User talk:Rursus|Rursus]] [[User:Rursus/OTHITPWMEEENAE|☺]] [[User:Rursus|★]]''</span> 17:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
