Rust <i>generics</i> are strongly typed. C++ and D templates are, however, untyped. You can get errors at template instantiation time in C++ and D, because the compiler makes no attempt to ensure that the types your template operates on actually support the operations you&#x27;re performing on them at the time you declare the template. In Rust (and basically every other language), though, the compiler typechecks your templates at the time you write them, so template instantiation can never result in errors inside the template.
