about generics : i've never had a deep look at it but i've always wondered if most of the problem couldn't be solved by having base types ( int, string, date, float, ..) implements fundamental interfaces (sortable, hashable, etc). i suppose that if the solution were that simple people would've already thought about it. in particular, i think it could help with the method dispatch, but probably not with the memory allocation ( although go already uses interfaces pretty extensively).
