I noticed that too. That quote starts with him saying "A lot of developers that seriously tried Go are very happy with it." I imagine that Robert hears about generics an awful lot, so he seems to be saying that the people who complain about generics are not people who have seriously tried Go. Very likely, he's right. There's some selection bias, though, because the people who can't live without generics generally perform a flaming exorcism on the language before long.
- coldtea 13y agoHis is an extreme case of "no true Scotchman" ("no guy that truly tried Go complains about Generics...") and confirmation bias (since those that stick to it, are happy with the status quo) together... Lots of people have both tried Go, legitimately, and are still concerned about lack of Generics. I've read several that have done so, and have tried it myself and would like Generics. But sure, I could use it, and even enjoy it, even without Generics. That doesn't mean I'm perfectly happy with the situation.
