>* Thanks, 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 mentioned on the forum that this document (currently) is highly biased towards my views, this is unfortunate, but this can only be fixed after numerous reviews. Thanks for pointing out the problems with wording.*

Thanks for not being defensive and taking my rather harsh critique lightly!

I wasn't trying to attack your specific document either, it's just that those things have often been repeated (often verbatim) by the Go-dev camp.

Basically, I have nothing to be defensive about - it's a summary of discussions, which means that any properly stated argument should be incorporated to the document, no matter what I personally feel about that argument. Although, the content has to be moderated somehow, I dislike deciding what is "properly stated" argument, but I don't really have a better idea how to do it either, at least not yet.

Personally, I stand in the middle of the generics discussion so I pretty much can see both sides as a valid approach. And it's a WIP and I know if one person writes it, it will be biased no matter how hard you try.

PS: I find the "straight to the point" comments much more useful - they are much easier to understand. So don't worry about it :)
