Additional Notes

Track: Java
Topic: Reflection API
Focus: MethodHandles
Java: MethodHandles
Answer
It is closer to the JVM invocation model and is often more optimizable.
Method handles still require design care, but they fit the JVM better than repeated reflective invocation. That makes them a stronger tool when metaprogramming needs better runtime performance.
