But go isn’t a language without generics, so I don’t understand the criticism
- Capricorn2481 2y agoWell you were quoting a part that said "in a language without generics" and were questioning why that was bad, so that's what they responded to. But that used to be Go, and it got a lot of pushback when generics were introduced. It illustrates an issue people have where obviously good language features are rejected by a loud minority for seemingly no good reason.
- School-Cotton 2y agoYou were specifically asking about generics. If you wanted me to give an example of the usefulness of some other feature that Go refuses to add, I would. Yes, Go finally added generics (years too late). But the fact that so many people were opposed to them for so long illuminates something about Go culture that is still relevant.
