I'm using a lot of reflection and I believe tinygo has had some issues with the reflect package.

I'm not really ready to dig into Tinygo issues. I've spent a lot of time dealing with Go's own reflect issue(i.e [0]) in its default implementation.

TinyGo does indeed have problems with the reflect package, as well as many others, one which I've managed to help with [1]. The developers have been very helpful, but the reflect package is still a big missing piece.

Your framework sounds interesting. Do you develop it in the open?

Lack of reflection also creates issues for (for example) XML decoding, but I found that it's possible to delete reflection code from the source and compile it with basic decoding support. No annotations - but this is OK because Go's XML annotations are evil.
