When you write `impl<T>`, then this means that it is a > template (we use the word "generic" in Rust rather than "template"), Marek: a main difference is that generics in Rust require you to spell out everything your type needs in order to be able to use it in the implementation, unlike C++ templates which will gladly accept any type as long as the resulting code compiles (i.e. whether the types make sense or not). So in C++ you may typically do just `T`, while in Rust you typically restrict your types with bounds and `where`s clauses like Alice shows. I hope that clarifies a bit! Cheers, Miguel
