This is a good point. Rust is better than C++ in many ways but when it comes to templates and compile time optimizations then its flipped and C++ is much better. The Rust trait system also feels pretty limited too.

Though as far as compile time templates go I think Nim templates generally meets or exceeds C++ templates in most areas. But I've become addicted to compile time type ducking, which is antithetical to Rust's vision of programming.
