How to write better game libraries

You must be trolling... Templates in C++ ARE for metarogramming. The fact that they work as a glorified text substitution (and they are only coming around to fix them in 2020) leaves no apology for the tool.

That's an ignorant statement both wrt generic programming (you know, the whole purpose of C++ templates) as well as the history of C++, in particularly how C++ template metaprogramming was discovered by accident after C++ templates were already implemented, widely used (see the STL), and standardized.
