When it comes to slots and signals, though, I don't particularly like

Why not choose a language that has support for those concepts in the
first place (like Objective-C IIRC)?
No clue, maybe they liked templates, too? So far I've experienced the
limitations of moc only as minor nuisance (things like having to pull out an
inner class to be able to use signals/slots or having to create a base class
for a template class). And you can say what you want about them, using signals
and slots results in less code than an equivalent implementation with BMessages
on Haiku.
