The go2go tool is just a toy, an experiment, a simple translation tool. It will be thrown away once they begin with the real implementation. https://twitter.com/GoTimeFM/status/1292148677155463169 (Transcript from the Go Time podcast): *"The experimental tool has no similarity whatsoever to any real implementation. [...] If this does move forward to become a proposal and it gets accepted, then most likely the implementation will be to start with a branch of the main Go toolchain, and we'll start adding generic support on that branch, which will involve changing the compiler mainly and any other changes to other tools that are required."* > Having generics in 2021 means many projects will choose other languages in > 2020, which will effectively mean 1 year of work in other language > Go aims at careful and cautious language design, not at catering to impatient people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
