>If this is seriously their proposed solution to the lack of generics then my estimation of Go just dropped even further.
On a related note, in one of the videos with Rob Pike (audience q&a I think but can't remember if it was GopherCon2014 or other event), he specifically mentions external "code generators" as a workaround for lack of generics.
If anyone (not saying you specifically) is saying that the Go team is proposing code generators as the solution instead of a workaround to lack of generics, that would be an inaccurate reading of their position.
