Cuts down on code and eases refactoring. Makes it faster to go from my mind to my code! (Once you get past the syntactical reading bump.) I'm really looking forward to really cleaning up some database and report code in particular. Bummed we won't see it in Go until at least 2022 though.

No doubt, but again we're talking about a single digit percentage of code paths, and again there are entire blockbuster applications written without any static typing at all. It'll be a nice feature for sure, but it's not like world-class software wasn't written in Go before nor will Go+generics be a "Java-killer".
