This presentation covers some of the reflection API in Swift: http://www.realm.io/news/swift-unchartered-territory-swift-i...

While it is clearly still somewhat limited, it does seem like there is potential for it to evolve into a really robust reflection API.

I disagree. Right now it doesn't seem like a lot of things aren't possible in swift unless there is a LOT of undocumented API.

Dynamic method compilation that you would need to make an equivalent of DynamicProxy just doesn't seem possible. What's funny is that the #1 thing I would state is not possible in Swift is Core Data.
