Java doesn't allow basic types to be used in generics at all (except for arrays, which are magic like Go's slices and maps are today). The issue under discussion crops up because we want to be able to talk about both MyGenericType(MyCustomType) and MyGenericType(int). The fact that basic types are totally separated from objects is a big wart in the language, so Java isn't really a great source of ideas re: how to deal with the question currently under discussion. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
