I don’t know about threatening to leave Go, but I’ve definitely seen a lot of posts claiming Go is better without generics.

The more nuanced and better side of that is that any language is better without badly designed and badly implemented generics.

Maybe the even more nuanced side is that a language that can't conjure a safe and well designed generic has a badly designed type system in the first place

That sounds axiomatic.

How would you define "badly designed?" I can imagine a context where the "well designed" type system is very plain.
