I will use Rust when const generics are actually useful and we get some viable alternative to variadic templates.

I know very little about C++, can you help me understand at a very basic level what variadic templates are? Is it about a template taking a varying number of generic types? If it is, then you can get something very similar in Rust by implementing a trait for tuples of various lengths.
