Watching Go's development is like reliving the development of Java (which also didn't have generics at first), but over decades instead of years. Cannot wait for Go to implement an error handling system in the 2030s.

Its very funny watching certain segments of the programming industry rediscovering incredibly basic programming principles, after railing against them for so long.
