interfaces are a poor substitute for generics, but that's by design. the minute they add a reasonable implementation of generics Go will begin to metastatize into something unrecognizable as people will no longer be bound by the limitations of the already existing core generic types. the core developers really do not want that to happen.

it's a highly opinionated language and for some reason some people enjoy writing mountains of for loops so that their code can remain "simple" as they produce a maze of twisty funcs all alike. i mostly see a for loop or two per func with a map and some slices repeating the same patterns over and over. that's the way the language designers want it.

i work with a lot of go programmers and they are all fine and good programmers. that makes it even harder to understand why they enjoy all the boilerplate and even defend it.
