      It’s not just about runtime performance, but also about coding flexibility, and for example also reduction of boilerplate.

        Ah yes, I love how C++ is has so little boilerplate. Sometimes I can even write several statements in a row without any!

          You’ve missed the context. There are occasions in Rust where you have to use more boilerplate code which you wouldn’t have to implement in C++ to that extent.

          But saying that C++ is free of boilerplate is of course ridiculous, if you are not able to heavily leverage templates, CRTPs, macros and alike.
