❔ Generics with different input and output type

I'm writing a generic at the moment which it something like this: 
T GetSomething<T, U>(U InputValues)
T GetSomething<T, U>(U InputValues)
When I'm calling it, is there any way to only specify T without specifying U (as this can be inferred from the argument being passed in). Ideally I'd like to be able to type something like: 
MyInputType inputValues;
MyType result = GetSomething<MyType>(inputValues);
MyInputType inputValues;
MyType result = GetSomething<MyType>(inputValues);
rather than 
MyInputType inputValues;
MyType result = GetSomething<MyType, MyInputType>(inputValues);
MyInputType inputValues;
MyType result = GetSomething<MyType, MyInputType>(inputValues);
Is something like this possible at all?

I get that it isn't something you can do in other languages - I was just wondering if it were different here 🙂

You can do it in other languages using associated types. Maybe we'll get them someday
