To prove you are not 'boosting'... could you give a convincing example?

Reflection is absolutely gonna feel completely alien to people for a while, but there's a lot of areas in our codebase where I wish I could simply describe a data layout and have the efficient code generated for me instead of writing tons of boilerplate. Take JSON serialization for example. Currently, you have to write your (de)serialization by hand, but with the new reflection stuff one could do it based on a struct's members, and with less error. It'll be wonderful for writing new libraries that will make our lives easier.
It's a proper quantum leap compared to pre-reflection
