> only C++ has a built-in Turing-complete metaprogramming interface at compile time in the form of templates
Haskell has Template Haskell[1][2] (it's an extension, but since GHC is pretty much the only compiler for Haskell, that's pretty much moot).

Sorry, I didn't mean "only C++" in that sense. I was only considering C and C++. Other languages do have decent metaprogramming facilities as well, some (IMHO) much better than C++ templates. Lisp macros, for example, or Scheme's syntax expanders. D's more flexible template system ranks highly as well, though the syntax isn't quite as consistent and it relies on parsing generated strings, rather than constructing syntax objects directly.
