I believe it was "They were all like who needs generics in go. and now go has go generate and templates."

I guess I qualify as a Go fanboi -- it is not perfect but gets the job done for a lot of us, sorry it doesn't work for you.

But back to your point about "vomit in the root dir", Go does have namespacing of sorts via packages, and the pattern you criticized is not the only way -- often just a simple main.go at the root bringing in packaged functionality.
