[GenericsMotors]

I find it interesting that they're asking the community what the use cases for generics are, when internally Go does support generics for its built-in collection types...hmmm I wonder why?!

Maybe because it provides compile-time type safety and reduces the amount of boilerplate that would otherwise be required. Yet they can't see the usefulness outside of this single case?

Seems disingenuous to me.

Basically it allows for any Gofer on HN and similar forums to defend the idea "they are working on it" without any actual visible action.
