proper generics would be C++ but it is called templates and could be hardcore..

.Net generics do have same issues mentioned in the article

.NET 7 improves this with static abstract members in interfaces and generic math.

Julia gives you the same (but dynamic rather than static), but without the awful syntax.

Proper generics would be parametric polymorphism with full program type inference, i.e. an ML derivative.
