> % of all programmers will move to Go if Generics are available. It's not about moving to Go, but about leaving Go. You can be pretty sure that there will be power users leaving the language unless it addresses many issues that it has. In fact, there are such people even here on HN already. It could, of course, end up being a language for non power users with the libraries of corresponding quality for awhile. And I feel like the quality issue is already here too. But ultimately not being an attractive choice for experienced programmers cannot be beneficial for the language in the long run.
