		Cpoll 15 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: My “grand vision” for Rust Agreed. Generics are in most modern typed languages, and traits are essentially interfaces. Maybe templates means C++ templates, which are essentially generics?

My guess is they meant metaprogramming in general (templates/generics, macros), but traits are not quite like the others.
