Hello Gregor, Firstly, blanket statements like "This makes generic programming impossible" and "it does not allow proper software design" are unneccesary hyperbole, and do not help the discussion in any way.
Traits provide a more well-defined, easier to reason about alternative to overloading. They do require the author of an algorithm to decide ahead of time whether this algorithm needs to be specializeable, which I guess C++-style overloading does not. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is debatable, but it is not true that Rust lacks a feature for specialization.
