Generics enabled by default in Go tip

Oh sorry, you were saying lack of generics were the reason you could make sense of code easily, implying that if a language has generics you can't make sense of it. That seems juxtaposed to having used them for decades. In any case I can tell you're passionate about this so I think we can just agree to disagree.

That said I don't think there's much "hope", from the looks of things it is coming to Go.

I'm hoping that Go still keeps it's relative simplicity. It's lack of inheritance gives me hope that generics won't be as complicate as it is in other languages.

I understand generics well, I just find code bases that use a lot of abstractions harder to read than Go.
