Please note there's been some uptick in the intensity of discussion on generics lately [0].
Generics are necessary to bring performant data structures to Fortran, and yet they are nowhere near Go's generics.
For the usual naysayers doubting Fortran's place in a modern world: whenever you are reading or watching a weather forecast, that's decades of Fortran staring at you. Whenever you drive past a nuclear power plant, or an airbase with 'igloos', remember that nuclear safety codes run on Fortran.
