Am I the only one who’s absolutely shocked that Go finally is embracing generics?
Does anyone have a bit of an inside view into what changed in the perspectives of the language maintainers?
I’m not buying the “it took us 20 years to understand how to do it correctly” argument, as this is something you explicitly take into consideration when designing the language or not. And it was specifically not a part of language design, and is much harder to retrofit (backwards compatibility).

So what changed?
