C++26 Reflection appreciation post

I have been tinkering with reflection on some concrete side project for some times, (using the Clang experimental implementation : https://github.com/bloomberg/clang-p2996 ) and I am quite stunned by how well everything clicks together.
The whole this is a bliss to work with. It feels like every corner case has been accounted for. Every hurdle I come across, I take a look at one of the paper and find out a solution already exists.

It takes a bit of getting used to this new way of mixing constant and runtime context, but even outside of papers strictly about reflection, new papers have been integrated to smooth things a lot !

I want to give my sincere thanks and congratulations to everyone involved with each and every paper related to reflection, directly or indirectly.

I am really stunned and hyped by the work done.
