Programming languages and computing platforms that typically support reflective programming (reflection) include dynamically typed languages such as Smalltalk, Perl, PHP, Python, VBScript, and JavaScript. Also the .NET languages are supported and the Maude system of rewriting logic. Very rarely there are some non-dynamic or unmanaged languages, notable examples being Delphi, eC and Objective-C.

While most languages that support reflection use runtime reflection (such as Java, Python, etc.), some use compile-time reflection, such as C++.
