There are also some people that think that compile time metaprogramming is the single best thing happened to programming languages. And, hey, what language will I use if you tear it apart from D? :P

 The Rust website says this:

Generic types yes, only simple, non-turing-complete substitution

After seeing that I just assumed the language was worthless and
ignored it..  is there something more to this?

As far as I understand it, Rust supports generic types a la C#, Modula-3, Eiffel, Ada, among others.

Meaning you cannot play meta-programming tricks with them.

For me that is ok, sometimes in D I think we suffer from meta-programming overdose.
