I really understand your feeling, I escaped from C++ years ago when I was overwhelmed by meta programming (initially i loved it). But anyway I find this in Go

  As a C++ (including modern) developer for more than 20 years, I had written a "template" keyword only for a handful of times. Maybe once in every 5 years on average... :) Unless you are a compiler/stdlib vendor or contributing to Boost, there are features that you just don't use it daily.

    But you would still have to deal with the mental load associated with having templates in your stack. I don't know if C++ is still as bad as it was back in my day about vomiting 20-line error messages at you because "std::vector<std::string>" or something has a billion implied template arguments. That was definitely a cost that one had to bear even if one never used the "template" keyword.

      Ah, yes, it is much better now!
