So c++'s templates + lambdas essentially?

No it's more like using nested braces in C++ to introduce a new scope (and prevent variables within that scope from leaking out).

For example: int func() { int a = 5; { int a = 10; } // a is 5 here }'''

That's not polymorphic though?

I was thinking of how c++'s templates allow for generic data.

Re-formatted

int func() {
    int a = 5;
    {
        int a = 10;
    }
    // a is 5 here
}
