Java had a huge reflection exploit a long time ago and most places blacklisted that library as a result so not a big loss there.


Well, wow. Apparently people are still blindly using reflection. A lot of people, in fact. Have you thought about literally any other language to build services?


It's less a problem of the language and more of popular frameworks using reflections excessively. (usually for no gain other than creating platforms that are not controlled by normal readable/tracable code flow but annotations)
