One of the most awaited features of Microsoft .NET 2.0 is generics. Generics promise to increase type safety, improve performance, reduce code duplication and eliminate unnessecary casts. The most obvious application of generics in the framework class library are the generic collections in the new System.Collections.Generic namespace. Much has been written about those, but they are not the topic of this article.

Unless I'm mistaking RTTI in C++ is reflection, no?
And it is a dynamic feature..
The biggest problem with RTTI in C++ is that it took a long time to be available so it is still not widely used..
But a new project starting now could probably count on the availability of RTTI..
