This is true, but we were talking about Java Generics, which is effectively the Java version of the C++ Templates.
This is a adequate characterization if you're taking the "five-mile-high" perspective. On the ground dealing with details, they're very, very different things with different strengths and weaknesses. There are plenty of people who wish, as I do, Java had taken a more C++-like approach.
