Meta currently wraps PHP's type system (https://github.com/skrz/meta/tree/master/src/Skrz/Meta/Reflection) and uses standard PHP reflection. It has several downsides:

class has to be loaded in the memory -- there cannot be long-running deamon that would compile meta classes incrementally after the file change
because class can reference other classes, everything has to be saved on the filesystem (the problem arises when being used as protoc-gen-php)

Consider replacing standard PHP reflection with Roave/BetterReflection and type system wrapping with phpDocumentor/TypeResolver.
