IMO templates are the thing that more resembles procedural programming, a common way of using them is to split data structures (containers) from functions that operates on them (algorithms). I find them very similar to the struct + functions classical approach of C. And BTW template <typename T> is the thing in C++ that more remembers me of opaque pointers and their use in C, the difference is that the first is fully type checked.
