STL / Generics impact large amounts of code and thus are implemented by compiler authors and/or library implementers. These are experienced engineers with in-depth understanding of hardware, concurrency models and program transformation among other things. A standard library in any programming language exports abstractions and hides a lot of complexity and implementation details from the application programmer and the user of the platform. Whatever stuff you read, please try to interpret it from this perspective. warm regards Saifi.
