I did use rust and I never came across a template system ;). However, rust makes certain design choices that C++ leaves open. They aren't too dissimilar in many aspects, and rust definitely is the sound of the two languages. But what I meant was that in C++ there will always be a very precise distinction between the tiniest nuances of how code behaves because the language wants to allow that level of control. Take for instance the difference between assignment and construction. Another language might decide that one is explained by the other and be done with it. C++ makes a distinction.
