"Annotations are declerative shorthands."

OR. Are annotations a crutch for something that should be in the language.

Just generally, if some tool has to use annotations, then that is indicator of something that should be in the language.

So which language has native REST endpoints? Session-aware security?

Like, this is just standard metaprogramming, if you don't have it you will just reach for dumber tools like non-language aided code generation.

all right, maybe it is a spectrum.

On other end

Type annotations in JavaScript. Just use a language with Types.
