I've never written one, I always thought it's one of those things that sound simple but actually require a lot of careful thought and design.

Nim doesn't do reflection, but it has some of the best metaprogramming features including static introspection tools which are far superior to reflection IMO.

It just takes some opinions. If you haven't developed any yet just take someone else's opinions. Eloquent is a good start for where to look. The QueryBuilder frame is a nice platform that makes available many nice features.
