Line 311:

I would rather put this in [[:Category:Programming language concepts]] than in [[:Category:Programming paradigms]]. 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)

:Based on the current contents of these categories, [[:Category:Programming constructs]] seems most appropriate. There is a certain ambiguity in its relation to [[:Category:Programming language concepts]] - there is room for some cleanup and reorganization there.
