> I'm just saying that while generics are useful in some cases, they are not always the right answer, and it shouldn't just be assumed that every language needs them, nor that any non-generic language "sucks".

It's funny to me, because this comment chain exists because I said I got tired of rewriting the same functions with minute changes, the exact problem generics is intended to solve. I didn't say anything sucked, or even that I didn't like Go, just that this one aspect got tiring.

And yet, this small comment lead into a person feeling their language was being attacked.
