People who find generics worthwhile *don't use Go*. So of course the

Because nobody ever reused any code in languages without generics!
Sure they did. But they re-use a hell of a lot more *with* generics. (Or at
least generics that aren't as pointlessly gimped as the C# generics.)
Yeah, I've been forced to do a lot of C# for web apps recently and
before that experience, I'd have said that I don't do much template code
and that using a language without them won't be a big deal.
However even doing a relatively small web app, in C# made me really miss
being able to knock out some quick template code to sort out the
repetitive bits. C#s version of generics is laughably crap.
You might not use templates every day, but when you need/want them
absolutely nothing else comes close.
