I recall the launch documentation specifically saying generics are "... a work in progress". Ignoring academic progress is easy when programming is far more often a trade than the application of computer science. I once saw a video comparing Go to an unnamed which matched or surpassed Go in all the ways the video compared the two. The language was Algol 60. Naturally, can't find the video now.

- jmilkbal 13y agoYeah and this comment on another thread is probably spot on. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5078276 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5078276 I don't really find Go compelling, but I can understand the background some folks might be coming from that might make it compelling for them.
- mietek 13y agoI completely agree with this comment.
