I was trying to say that I think it's unavoidable that Go programmers will have to learn to read and use generic code. I think it's very reasonable to acknowledge and consider the downsides of a change, while still being in favor of making it. That's kind of my point during this entire thread - that "we decided to add generics" doesn't mean we didn't hear or consider or even agree with the arguments against them. We just feel that the benefits outweigh them. > > On Thu, Mar 18, 2021 at 9:37 AM 'Axel Wagner' via golang-nuts < > golang-nuts@googlegroups.com> wrote: > >> I also think there is definitely credence to the idea that we read more >> code than we write (after all, a lot of Go's design is based on that idea >> too).
