There is a plan to make these optional via a mode switch but it hasn't happened
yet. Personally I like the "generic" keyword but the specialize keyword is
annoying if you don't make a type alias (and for function calls of course).
Implicit function specialization is already ready so at least we won't need to
use <> at all for function calls.
