Automated excerpt
All C++ (with its upcoming reflection support), Zig and C3 rely on compile-time reflection, so you can reason about types, enumerators, and struct members without any runtime cost. It uses macros for compile-time evaluation and reflection. Zig unfortunately doesn’t have ‘attributes’ or any substitute to attach compile-time data to struct members.
