I am in favor of adding generics to Go if it can be done while preserving the clarity and simplicity of the language. See https://blog.golang.org/why-generics (which I wrote). I've been looking for ways to add generics to Go for a long time. For example, here is a proposal I wrote up in 2010: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/15292/2010-06-type-functions.md. And that wasn't even the first one I wrote. I hope they are at least getting better over time. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
