different problems should be solved with different tools. Macros should
be used for meta-programming and generics for type-parameters. they
don't exclude each other. E.g. Nemerle has an awesome macro system yet
it also has .net generics too.
As the saying goes -"when all you got is a hammer everything looks like
a nail" which is a very bad situation to be in. templates are that
hammer while a much better approach is to go and by a toolbox with
appropriate tools for your problem set.
I didn't say anything that contradicts this.
Did you read any arguing in the above? I thought I was agreeing with
you.. :)
