Well, he had previously stated that there would be no breaking
changes, and that if there were changes it would have to be
called "go version 2 or something". So when generics were
brought up he stated that there were no plans for generics and
"I said we are going to leave the language, we are done" (with
version 1 semantics).
Ola..
Robert Pike says in this thread
(https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!topic/golang-nuts/3fOIZ1VLn1o):
"Go has type switches, and therefore no need for the Visitor
Pattern.". He has exactly the same mindset as Niklaus Wirth and
Oberon never got templates. Future will tell... Would be a nice
thing to bet a dime on whether Go will have generics or not. I
bet not ;-).
