It's not so much "let's all talk about it", but "here's how detailed a proposal needs to be to make it worth considering".

It's not so much "let's all talk about it", but "here's how detailed a proposal needs to be to make it worth considering".
- andrewstuart2 10y agoSorry, I mean the opening of a Github issue regarding generic programming by the Go team itself is the beginning of a new stance.
- dsymonds 10y agoIt isn't a new stance either. For years people have been posting their ideas for Go generics to golang-nuts, and the questions inevitably lead to asking how they'd implement it, how it would interact with interfaces, and so on. Most of the time the proposer hadn't thought it all the way through in those regards. The point of publishing these proposals is to help speed up that process: now the first response can be to point at these and ask for a similar level of thoroughness.
