Nice write-up! At my personal level, I feel nothing about Iterators or even Generic. I can live with or without it, and kind of dont mind it to be used by library authors.
I didnt had a single line of code broken by golang version up updates in 7+ years, scanning through golang source code is always a pleasure. No hidden magic. I dont read documention either - just surfing inside of source code by clicking with CMD key.
My main KPI for Golang is the ammount of clicks required to understand internals ... very few compare to other languages.
If its stamped by guys like Russ Cox (rsc), I can sleep well too.
