If Java gets CTFE (compile time function evaluation), constexpr for C++ folks, much of the need for runtime reflection would disappear.

Just to remind people that Quarkus has a "pre-compile" stage that allows code to wire itself up using reflection, annotations, config properties, etc, before the full compile. This makes start-up times much faster.
