even enough people care about it then it's a market opportunity. You should jump on that if you think enough people care about it. My assumption, not enough people care to sustain a business.

Sure, but don't be surprised when people have different opinions and aren't convinced by anecdotes. Reading the comments here you can find tons of people that are shocked, SHOCKED, that not everyone agrees with them on generics, i

I agree, but then people can't complain much when other people, like the Go team, have different opinions and make different decisions than they would. We should encourage experimentation rather than discourage it. No one is forcing an

I agree, but then we shouldn't assert conclusions with the level of certainty expressed in this blog post and many of the comments here.

There is no rigor to this blog post. He didn't have two teams build the same project with and without generics or anything like that. The title is "why go is not good" which is drawing a conclusion based on an anecdote. It&#x

There is very little, to no, emetic all evidence either way. Take all of the demands for generics and see if you can find you can find any emperical data to back up the demands.

You can also scale ruby fine if the content is fairly static. It's only if it's massive scale and dynamic when you start to run into problems.
