You have the same thing in C++, right?

Yes, and sometimes I wish C++ stayed somewhere in pre C99 levels where a single person could master it. As much as new features are useful, they make codebases unreadable to anyone that doesn't grasp all concepts. Even Google internally "javaizes" C++ and uses a strict subset to keep some sanity. Scala is another language that can go insane in the same fashion if teams don't enforce strict rules.
Rust is a "Javaization" of C++ checked by the compiler.
