This is much less of a strength than you think. For 90% of cases, lack of metaprogramming is resolved by putting a Python script in build step that autogenerates the necessary code.
Yes, I agree. For a single project metaprogramming has little impact.
But such scripts are rarely reused between projects. Where metaprogramming has high potential is in creating more adaptive frameworks that can reused in many projects.
It does requires high level of sophistication and insight (and experimentation) to build such frameworks though.
