The issue is _generic_ data structures, not external code. If I have to re-create a hash table for each scenario, I'll not invest the proper time to do so.

So if I need a hash table to map inodes to strings and another to map strings to IP addresses, I'll need to create that anew each time.

That means either writing a lot of code twice, or relying on manual code generation (which sucks for many reasons).



Right, I take my question back
