i knee jerk subjectively off the top of my head think that if things were first class i'd be using reflection close to never? when there are not generics, it gets even worse (go). want things like: get the fields of a class; of an instance. i want to get their name and type. i want to be able to do it for boxed and primitive types.i want to be able to curry method calls i can find on them, etc. etc. _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
