That’s a very slippery slope argument that could apply to almost anything. Fortunately, most people realise the benefits of generics - and it has nothing to do with dependency management (which is already a mess by the way).

I’m more worried about eccentricities in the implementation that we’ll get out of the golang team. Then again, maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I agree with your position, but you’ve missed the point. Everyone recognizes the benefits of genetics; the debate is about whether they’re worth the cost. Not everyone can even bring themselves to admit there are costs.
