That Go would benefit from generics doesn't change the fact that there are also lots of use for heterogenous containers. As it is, Go already has "slices" for type safe containers. The fair complaint about Go is it's hard to do other type safe container than the built in "slice" and "map" containers. But the problem is on track to be fixed next year, so it's silly to complain about it now. It's really hard to take people who complain about Go seriously when they're pretty obviously just zealots who don't know much about the language besides "types good" and "Go bad". My stance: types good in moderation; Go a useful tradeoff of engineering attributes.
