How about using the Hindley-Milner type system? Then you wouldn't need
templates.

I'm not familiar with that system.
Could you please describe it in more details?

I don't know much about it, either. It is the type system of Haskell. Haskell
has static type checking and parametric polymorphism without the use of
templates. So I thought it could be a good alternative to templates in D.

The problem is that I don't know if Hindley-Milner can be used with an
imperative language. But I think it is worth investigating.

Other languages that use Hindley-Milner are ML and Miranda.
