About generics, this is highly debatable. This is a design choice, it's not a decision made by accident. You'll surely gonna have boilerplate code in some cases, but all the language will be a lot more readable, and simple. Simplicity it's the most wanted feature of Go, from the designers perspective, I think. In the long term it's preferable to have explicit and simple code, instead of complex magic. This is a correct view? We'll see. Honestly I'm starting to appreciate that. They may have a good point.
