Okay, let's solve, before the checkmarks come back. All of them are Rust. 2013: smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog 2011: smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog 2012: smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog

While the checkmarks are away, let's play a little game: which programming language is this? template<class T> struct Vector { Box<Elements<T>>* elements; unsigned length; }

Pretty sure `template` was just being used for illustration purposes in those examples? Realise it's a bit unclear from the blog post though. That was in 2013 and I definitely don't remember that being there at the time!

Would be fun to have an example of the square brackets for type parameters though. I'm really sad those didn't make it in. 😢

I was unsure about that as well, but is was definitely a piece of bikeshed used. `class` was definitely a thing for a while.

Classes were added with the `class` keyword in 0.3 (when I started looking into Rust), but removed in 0.4 afaik (when I started using Rust). Was never on type parameters like in C++ templates though.
