"templates, a powerful macro system" I really like Rust, but I haven't been paying attention for a month or so; did something change? Templates? And the macro system was...oddly limited when I tried fooling with it.

Rust consciously avoids having C++-style templates, so I think stelonix is referring to plain old generics.
