Yeah, I can see how having features added to your favorite language while remaining fully compatible with the code you write today would warrant such a reaction. I mean, just having them in your language, even if you don’t have to use them is just so horrible.

I think it would be naive to believe that adding generics to Go would have no effect on the stdlib, third party packages, and ultimately how you write Go code.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but if a feature is in a language, someone will use it which will mean eventually everyone has to.
Well the same is true for multiple languages which will mean not everyone has to use Go. Especially when there are so many interesting languages to choose from.
What are you saying, you never read other people's code? That's actually my job.

In his defense, just because you don't write generics yourself doesn't mean you don't encounter them.
