I wonder this too. For how important generics are claimed to be, it does seem strange that nobody has stepped up and helped out the core team in this capacity. They have been quite open about wanting generics, but do not have the resources to dedicate to implementing them in an acceptable fashion. But being an open source project, anyone can step up to fill that void.
- algesten 10y agoHow can a google backed project not have the resources?
- randomdata 10y agoI don't know, but Google does frequently complain about not being able to find talent. Some of this is through fault of their own, but it is easy to imagine that they have not found suitable developers to fill the spot, for whatever reason it may be. They have lots of other business goals for what developers they do have. Putting their people on generics at the cost of some other business function may not be a good choice, even if it is theoretically possible.
