Line 299: == Reflection vs Introspection: compare? merge articles?== Please see [[Type introspection]]: very similar concepts.

I would think of a programming paradigm as a set of concepts, a set of things which you can or cannot do in a certain language or a certain style of programming. Reflection rather is a one-trick-pony, enabling the programmer to get the identifier of some entity at runtime (or similar concepts) and make a decision upon the result. So "reflection" would be just one concept of the larger paradigm of "metaprogramming". -- [[User:Theoprakt\|Theoprakt]] ([[User talk:Theoprakt\|talk]]) 20:57, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
