Templates are how C++ does generics and I'd expect them to appear in be used in embedded programming as well as elsewhere. They can bloat up the code if you're not careful (if function f has several parameters, you can end up with a separate, specialized copy of f for every combination of types that f is called with in the program), but in the typical monomorphic situation they don't add any overhead. I'm not sure about the situation with STL. Anyway, templates aren't terribly hard to understand. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
