== C# Example doesn't fit ==
The C# example doesn't fall in line with the other examples, so I feel that it's less helpful as a comparison. Perhaps either the C# example should be simpler (ie the Java one), or all the examples should implement some common functionality. That would give more insight into how each language handles reflection.
== Interpreted languages ==
The article stated: ''[[Interpreted programming language]]s, such as [[Ruby programming language|Ruby]] and [[PHP]], are ideally suited to reflection, since their source code is never lost in the process of translation to machine language—the interpreter has the source readily available.''
 
Ideally suited to reflection... what a strong statement, and sorry, that is definitely not the state of the art. Other implicit assumptions, such as source code being available as a string as opposed to an abstract syntax tree, have been negated more than 40 years ago, too. -- [[User:Zickzack|Zz]] 09:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
