That's not a meme. People using statically typed languages want compile time safety, not heavy reflection and ad hoc type creation at run time like in Go. I'm not interested in having to use void pointers everywhere just to get a bit of code reuse. Go type system is shitty, its authors know it, but they are too arrogant to acknowledge that fact publicly.

The absence of generics is the issue.
- omginternets 10y agoAgain, could you provide concrete examples of what you'd want to see? In practice I rarely use `interface{}`. I really am open to being wrong about this, but it would be nice if someone could show me what might be improved. So far everyone is just telling me that it can be improved and that "Go's type system is shitty". I want to be convinced. I really do. I'm just not.
