Absolutely. Generics are too powerful an abstraction to do without in 2013. I can't imagine coding without them. Go is a no-go for me.
Everyone talks down on C++ but it's one of the few languages that gets generics right. The only language with implicit RAII (not explicit like C#/Java). The only language to put into practice 0 cost abstractions.
