I hope that this quote from the article is true:

> I’m not sure that most Go developers will be using generics daily, but it’s nice to know that they exist if we need them.

Most people won't need generics in Go, and I hope people don't force them into their code where an interface would do just fine. I'm a big fan of good type systems like Rust, but Go doesn't need all that power all over the place. I think generics are a good feature for Go, but I really hope they don't get overused in places that would currently use an interface.
