C++ templates are still a gross hack compared to most implementations of parametric polymorhism

It is excusable, C++ lacks other facilities to nicely implement generics (reflection). Plus templates are very fast, if memory inefficient.

Reflection and nice generics (ie. parametric polymorphism) are mostly orthogonal. Just look at ML, Haskell, and Rust for example.
