Although it's slightly off-topic, there are already some Go forks or variants that implement generics.
One is Fo https://github.com/albrow/fo - a source-to-source transpiler that converts "Go with generics" to plain Go Another is my https://github.com/cosmos72/gomacro - a Go interpreter with generics (C++ style generics are complete; a second alternative implementation more closely following Go generics proposals is in progress). I think there may be others I don't know about. On Wednesday, May 29, 2019 at 4:12:27 AM UTC+2, Slawomir Pryczek wrote: > > Come on, open your minds a little.
