Rust does not use reflection for this. Reflection support in rust isn’t actually much better than in C++.

I’m not a rust dev, but looking into how the Debug trait works, it’s basically what we’d need compile time reflection to get in C++.

It generates code that uses the class name and class members. In C++ we have no way of doing that (without hacky macro stuff).
