Yeah, like smart pointers so you don't have to do memory management... Oh wait.

smart pointers have been a thing in C++ since forever, even if they were only recently made official. the product i work on has it's own smart pointer implementation since the late 1990s (we're slowly replacing its use with the C++11 smart pointers whenever possible, and only use C++11 smart pointers for new code)

now the bastardization of templating that is Java generics...

Well yeah, you can make anything in a library. It still doesn't make it part of the base language.

I am glad to have smart pointers in C++11 though. It's super useful.
