The closest thing is auto-generating code, not using interface{}.

Yes, but there's still a depressingly large amount of code in the wild that just casts interface{} back and forth.

Common with ORMs. The gorm API is horrible - it's all interfaces.

The only reasonable ORM library I've seen is sqlboiler, which uses code generation.

I don't necessarily mean interface{}. This:

type Thing interface { ... }

is better, but Thing is still a dynamic type.
