The question you should ask yourself is - what other languages I do know to compare C++ to?

Do you know about hygienic macros in scheme? Standard ML parametric polymorphism? Haskell type classes?

But even more mundane stuff like D's templates? Code-generation and reflection in C# (not to mention generics)? Scala's generics and parametric polymorphism?
