I'd like to add a big +1 here. The proposal around contracts and generics
is solid from a conceptual perspective, and I enjoyed reading the rationale
behind what's supported, and what isn't, and I think this is a wonderful
addition to the language which keeps type safety in a very Go-like way
despite all the flexibility. It's really good language design, and the
syntax won't change what we can do with it. I look forward to simplifying a
lot of my code once this ships by reusing many data structures I've
implemented separately for many types. I have a whole team working on Go
code in production, so I just have to wait until it's shipped officially
and is stable.
Thank you Go Team. I was a Googler when Go was created, and I remember Rob
Pike saying that one of the reasons behind it was to keep programming fun,
to take out the drudge work, and it's been amazingly successful in that
regard.
