What? One of the reasons I love Go is it doesn't have generics, and I say that after 7 years spent in Java. People don't like to be forced to think differently because they're lazy and can't motivate themself to change the way they think and program.

Go is different, Rust is different, people throw shit on Go because it's not Java or C# or Python, because it doesn't do what they would like it to do, not because it doesn't have generics. Sure, occasionally generics would be useful, but it's not a reason to hate a language.
