It's extremely incomplete. They enumerate some challenges, but don't investigate languages where generics is apparently a solved problem. Whole sections are blank, especially — and perhaps revealingly — the ones that are about less C-like languages such as Haskell and OCaml.
I wonder how the situation compares to Swift, Rust and Nim, three recent languages that have managed to implement generics without (as far as I know) a single complaint, and without descending into C++ madness.
