It's totally on point. I've been writing a fair bit of Go lately and consequently am firmly in the Generics! Now! camp. The pace of writing in this language is almost snail like, and a lot of that is due to re-implementing common idioms like popping and pushing from/to a stack and then debugging the little typos that creep in around the edges. It's freaking annoying, and it's a shame because the language is otherwise nice to work with. If it weren't for the testing workflow I'd have given up on Go entirely, just because of how annoying it is to re-implement the basics, over, and over, and over...
