I'm aware of what C# does, that's why I said it was a tradeoff. Compare the number of languages on the JVM to those on the CLR to see why they made this tradeoff. The JVM folks are working on improving generics even further in upcoming releases. I know about Joda time, that even another point in how mature the Java ecosystem is. There's no similar offering in golang.

> Compare the number of languages on the JVM to those on the CLR to see why they made this tradeoff IMO the main reason why people aren't creating more CLR language is unrelated to generics. You can compile many languages to CLR bytecode and never emit these ldelem/stelem/unbox.any instructions. The main reason is C# is good language, and it evolves fast enough. I don't believe Java developers deliberately crippled Java to incentivize third parties to develop more JVM languages.
