> I could be wrong but I think there is a broad consensus that reflection is a Bad Idea.

Reflection may be bad in practice for other reasons/conditions, but the lack of simple/minimal/regular primitive conventions in many languages, makes reflection a basket of baddies.

The code blocks of Rye seem comparable to closures, which is a sensible thing to have. Once all code blocks are closures, there are fewer concepts to wrangle, and functional control makes excellent sense.



That makes sense, thanks!
