I really don't get the people opposed to generics. Is there actually a cross between experienced developers who have come from languages that have generics and understand them, yet don't want them in go? If so, why, and what do they use instead? Because go has no compromise-free answer for generics. You either lose type safety, maintainability, or performance.
I suspect a lot of the generics hate is due to a large chunk of the community coming from dynamically typed languages. In which case they're just have a negative reaction to unfamiliarity.
