You missed what Donovan said, which answered the question. Obviously PL-enthusiasts (give me all the shiny! all the time!) wont like the answer though.

- nothrabannosir 11y agoAbsolutely agree with what he said, and I agree it answers the question. And I agree with what you said, it's not a great answer for everybody, but it's an answer. Yet still, Kernighan said what he said.
- sanderjd 11y agoI don't really understand the claim that generic programming is "shiny". It is an old idea that has been implemented many times. It's totally fine that the Go team left out generics – it's their decision – but denigrating people who lament that decision as shiny-chasing PL-enthusiasts is unfair.
