"Go's syntax and the patterns it encourages are both tailored to the harsh reality that code is read a lot more than it's written." Yes, it honestly sounds like a taste issue. Go has it's own patterns, so if you instinctively expect your code to be like another language, it will probably feel wrong. I suspect that it is at the root of a lot of the comments about generics: people aren't comfortable with the style of Go, but aren't sure why, so they latch on to "generics".
