This reminds me of the same response regarding generics from Go users:

> God I get tired of the generics criticism with Go. I truthfully don't even notice it when I write Go, I don't understand why folks get so bent out of shape over it.

Over ten years later, Go gets generics.

There’s no contradiction there. I rarely missed generics in Go. Now on the rare occasion that they add significant value, I can use them.
