Security model of java compiler. We already have al this potential problems with annotations processing, where any java code can be auto-discovered and run. And practice shows that this is not the biggest problem of language.

Good point, I forgot about the annotation processor.

The difference is that use of annotations is syntactically distinct from regular Java code, whereas the Compiletime class in your examples is not. I think this could lead to confusion, but maybe that's just me.

Possibility to write unmaintainable code exists.

But if think in such way, than creation of turing-complete programming language was fatal security error ;)

I like it! :-)

Vil.
