A sad day for Go, the pHDs have won, simplicity has died.

- Cthulhu_ 5mo agoIt only died if you actually applied it in your own codebase - as with any feature, using it is optional.
- 9rx 5mo agoCode is written to be read, and typically for other people to read. So, in practice, it is only optional if everyone else agrees to not use it.
- sdevonoes 5mo agoIt certainly makes readability of Go code harder.
- EdwardDiego 5mo agoIf generics replace code generation or hand coding a concrete implementation for specific types or... operating against interface{} and then switching based on runtime type, then I strongly disagree that it makes reading Go code harder, it makes it, IMO, easier. But that's the thing, it's just IMO.
