> C++ templates look like an entirely new language within the language.
Templates cover more than just generics. Java full-sale lifted its generics syntax from sepples. I'm curious how you draw the line between the two, when all 3 of them use the angle bracket declaration lists bolted onto the symbol name, a unique style invented by CFront 3. Compare with the generics syntax found in contemporaries like ML, Miranda, Ada, Modula-3 and so on.
