That is an interesting point, and even if that is true, it still means adding generics would be a detriment.
I do wonder if that's an inherent property of languages with a more expressive type system. Many would blame it on OOP, but I think Haskell also suffers from it. Haskell that is written without using typeclasses is much more readable than Haskell that's written more plainly, at least to me.
It might be a unique property to Go, which other language is strongly typed yet with such a basic typesystem, lacking inheritance or even generics?
