Go supporters see C++ templates as abomination, yet these performance problems can be easily solved by C++ templates. C++ templates can have integer value in its template parameter, so if we implement that B-Tree in C++, we don't have to resort to codegen at all, as the language is powerful enough.

The two languages have different philosophies. C++ is targeted at performance while Go is intended to be easy to learn.

I would go with Comenius Logo on the latter category then.

But honestly, I really don’t understand why Go became this hyped.
