When I started programming in Go after a decade of Java[1], I found it painful to not code without generics but then over the past couple of years I've become used to it.
I understood the philosophy of Go and why it didn't have generics or may be I'm just convincing myself of that because I'm invested in it. I think when you accept the philosophy of something you already get coupled into it.
I don't really have an opinion about Go bringing in generics, I would use every time saving feature available in a programming language. On the other hand I really hope additions like these doesn't become a point of friction among those who really have an opinion, Especially those who have been contributing to Go and end up forking Go.
