HI Martin, as Jan already explained, you're not only writing code, you also reading it. And you have to understand what's written. At the same time you're not just coding in Go, you're using the whole ecosystem including libraries and tools. So the mantra "just don't use if you don't like'' does not work, every Go programmer will be forced to use generics, to read and at the end, to write that code.
Second question you may ask - yes it will be overused, in fact in the very first year everything will be flooded with bad code. Because it's a new toy and biggest change to the language in years, because it's a "smart" way of doing things (we are mature programmers, aren't we?), because "type safety" and "performance" and so on so forth. сб, 13 мар. 2021 г. в 15:45, Martin Schnabel <m...@mb0.org>: > (sorry space a, i didn't reply to list) > > hi alex and space a. > > as far as i know there is no reason that anybody has to write code with > generics when they are available. therefor i really don't understand the > negative mails to this list. > > do you also want others not to use them? how would that help you? could > you please explain to me your personal gain if generics are not added to > go and not available to me and other users? many users have valid use > cases for generics and custom code generation to deal with them now. > > i personally never had a reason to use imaginary numbers in go, they are > however part of the language as literals and accompanied by special > built-ins. should i care, do you? > > please explain > > On 13.03.21 12:34, Space A. wrote: > > There is no rationale.
