I think talking about a sweet spot is correct I've been thinking about the trajectory of C++ language development recently and the emphasis has definitely been on making generics more and powerful. You watch CppCon talks and see all this super expressive template spaghetti and see that while it's definitely a better way to write code - the syntax is just horrifying and hard to "get over" Just like when "auto" took off and people starting thinking about having "const by default" - I'm starting to think that generic by default is the way to go. The composability of generic code is incredible powerful and needs to be more accessible However the other end of the spectrum: dynamic code leaves a lot of performance on the table and leads to runtime errors
