I don't think he literally means templates and classes. Rust has equivalents that do the things you want templates and classes for (generics and structs/traits respectively).

I completely agree with his point about reimplementing C++ badly in C. GNOME does this too in their libraries. He will be much happier with Rust.

Hmmm I think I actually really want classes. Something that combines data and methods together without more function pointers. Template vs generic I don't care about

Rust structs are in some ways similar to C++ classes. You can combine data and methods together with them without worrying about things like function pointers.

Rust structs do bind data and methods together.

On the other hand it seems like gobject was good for gnome as it made it easier to bind GTK to other languages
