Reminds me a bit of the way java first did aspect oriented programming. Compared to how .net does it, one can see how much better it is when a critical part of a language is actually taken care of inside the language itself, rather than as a separate process.

There is no difference between magic and automation. I'd say magic is better because you don't need third party tools, it's baked in the language,documented officially, testable, and doesn't need one to type "Go generate" in a terminal.
