This is the main reason I dislike java Spring Boot: too much magick going on at runtime which is difficult to figure out if you are not an expert in Spring.

Much better to have (pre)generated code which is then compiled like any other java code. In this case you can see the code, you can navigate it, you can single-step thru it when running.

Spring Boot is too much like monkey patching in Ruby. Please let me see the code that runs.
