So I think DDD is basically one of the best pattern that has ever been discovered for developing good software (thinking of it along with gangof4, SOLID, etc). There's a lot of cruft around it and consultants looking to over-complicate it for the sake of getting hired, but viewed simply it's mostly about abstraction at conceptual boundaries -- very hard to be against that on most large projects.

That said, can someone weigh in on how it is building large "enterprise-grade" applications in Go 1.x given how (purposefully) constrained the type system in Go is? While protocols in Go are great (one of the very many breaths of fresh air that Go provided), operations on data structures without generics does not seem like a good time. Does everyone get around the lack of generics by making most generic-looking operations slightly-specialized structs and some interface composition?
