Of course you can make up your own little head canon about their motives but it has nothing to do with reality.

- coldtea 4y agoThe only compatible headcanon for their thoughts on the issue is the above though. Not sure where the "reality" comes from.
- pjmlp 4y agoRob Pike explicitly stated that he really isn't into generics, https://youtu.be/RIvL2ONhFBI?t=1018 https://youtu.be/RIvL2ONhFBI?t=1018 (starts here) https://youtu.be/RIvL2ONhFBI?t=1892 https://youtu.be/RIvL2ONhFBI?t=1892 (he expresses his opinion here) We haven't made our little heads out of nowhere.
- mseepgood 4y agoI have watched this talk back then when it came out, and I just rewatched the parts you linked. Nowhere in this talk he said that he isn't into generics. He said that he is not yet satisfied with design drafts (that existed at that time), and that he would like to bring in experts. Which he did, when he asked Phil Wadler to join, which led to the current design. The talk is actually proof that he was and is open to generics. "If we can implement these and learn about it a lot of what becomes important will clarify and something will come out of it, maybe something wonderful." Again, you make up some warped interpretation in your head.
