Didn't intend for it to end up on HackerNews - at least not yet. It's still the first draft, most of it I wrote up in ~2hours. I made a mistake for not putting the "Draft" note at the top of the page in the first page.

I try my best to be objective - obviously this isn't easy. This is intended to be a review of both sides of the arguments. The generics discussion comes up again and again - I made this document to stop arguments going around in circles.

I will go over all the suggestions and add any missing information. Of course, if you have some good overview of some particular generics implementation you can PM me, or simply add that as a comment.
