Can you explain why?

For example, simple generics which could be implemented as regex doesn't seem to complicated? Am I missing something?

For example (in Java), an ArrayList <String> could be turned into a StringArrayList by a basic internal pre-processor.

How do you handle error messages? Can you make functions, methods or their parameters generic? Can you dynamically link generics?
