That's an issue you simply cannot fix in CS, you need a new language/fork (not having var/let is at the heart of the language's syntax). I wouldn't compare it with Go's lack of generics.

Why? It feels like forking Go would be the fastest way to get Generics.

But on the other hand, the people who are able to pull that off usually just stay away from Go in the first place.
