You can't have generic functions that can wrap data so you end up passing concrete models or interfaces to views - no generic view-models for you. The inflexibility of the type system isn't a big deal when you are working on network applications or tools, but causes serious duplication when you do anything that passes around concepts internally.

i don't think generic is relevant to GUI. objective c didn't have generics, and i don't think it mattered in any way when they built cocoa.

now generics is a problem of its own when working with data and algorithms, but they managed to get along with it in the backend so far, so...

obviously it is doable, but that does not mean there aren't better solutions today.
