.NET (dotGNU too) 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.

Macros in C++/C are quite different from Lisp Macros, wouldn't you say? From toying around with lisp, I've come to understand that lisp macros are actually pieces of logic while C macros are just text-substitution commands.
