Generics is still a difficult one for me; I don't really miss it myself, but I can see some use cases for it. On the other hand, it makes the language + tooling a LOT more complicated.

But on the other other hand, it opens up possibilities to tackle other criticisms of the language - error handling and nil, which can be solved with Either and Option types found in other languages.
