DESCRIPTION:This talk summarizes my PhD research on metaprogramming in Sca
 la. We will start with Scala macros\, which introduced language support fo
 r metaprogramming into the production compiler\, and then discuss their ad
 option and impact on the Scala community. Following that\, we will see how
  our experience with macros suggested better ways of designing reflection 
 APIs. The presentation is Scala-centric\, but features language-agnostic i
 nsights.
