Now imagine being the dev who keeps making proposals and working diligently at the problem only to have countless ideas and proposals shot down for one reason or another. Ian Lance Taylor is persistent if nothing else and I'm hoping his hard work pays off with this proposal.

This is why we’re going round in circles. There’s been significant effort invested in generics for Go, so the team aren’t willing to veto the idea. But they’re not willing to accept a proposal either.

The team is actively working on it. Why would they invest work in something they don't want.

[tandr]

Working on it _internally_, in depths of google sea. There is not much to follow that progress other than following small bubbles from that submarine raising to the surface here and there... (imho, ymmv)

[mseepgood]

Not everything has to be followed at every step. When they have a relevant update on the draft design they publish it, gather feedback, improve, and so on.

[tandr]

People want to follow it closely. And after that fiasco with "new" error comparison handling proposal I cannot blame them.
