I also developed some horrendous code using generics in Java. I can relate to the resistance many are having against generics. However, there are some differences in the Go generics implementation that makes me hopeful, so I suggest those who are opposed to it to give it a chance and try it. This is not Java generics that were forced into the language without changing the underlying JVM. Nor is it C++ (yet) that you can't really do anything useful without writing lots of cryptic code just to keep the libraries happy. A balanced approach in the library that doesn't impose generics on developers at every possible opportunity may go a long way. > > Concrete code matters. > > Anthony > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/X%2BJD0mE0ZzY7AyM2%40alice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
