Why would you use templates in low level (eg: kernel) code?
Why would I chose D over C if I am restricted from templates?
Templates are essentially an automated type-safe copy-paste and
there is a lot of copy-paste in type kernel-flavor code to be
eliminated. Or, to be more specific, why shouldn't I? As you may
notice, this topic author uses C++ meta-programming just fine in
this environment, no reason D can't do it.
