Fair enough.

Serialization

    #include <print>

    template<typename T>
    void serialize(const T& obj, std::ostream& os) {
        for_each(reflect(T), [&](auto member) {
            std::print("{}: {}\n", member.name(), member.get(obj));
        });
    }
Simplified property systems

    class Person {
    public:
        Person(const std::string& name, int age)
            : name(name), age(age) {}

        std::string getName() const { return name; }
        void setName(const std::string& name) { this->name = name; }

        int getAge() const { return age; }
        void setAge(int age) { this->age = age; }

    private:
        std::string name;
        int age;

        REFLECT_PROPERTIES(
            (name, "Name of the person"),
            (age, "Age of the person")
        )
    };

    int main() {
        Person person("Alice", 30);

        auto properties = reflect::getProperties<Person>();

        for (const auto& prop : properties) {
            std::print("Property: {} ({})\n", prop.name, prop.description);
            
            auto value = reflect::get(person, prop.name);
            std::print("Value: {}\n", value);

            if (prop.name == "age") {
                reflect::set(person, prop.name, 31);
            }
        }

        std::print("Updated age: {}\n", person.getAge());

        return 0;
    }
    
Simplified template metaprogramming

    template<typename T>
    void printTypeInfo() {
        constexpr auto info = reflect(T);
        std::print("Type name: {}\n", info.name());
        std::print("Member count: {}\n", info.members().size());
    }
    
Generic algorithm for printing all members

    template<typename T>
    void printAllMembers(const T& obj) {
        for_each(reflect(T), [&](auto member) {
            std::print("{}: {}\n", member.name(), member.get(obj));
        });
    }
