For me, the fact the Go didn't (and still doesn't) have generics is a
showstopper for me. I just can't imagine writing / maintaining code of
any non-trivial size without generics of *some* sort.  I'm the kinda guy
who's into heavy meta-programming, so having no generics whatsoever is
just ... unpalatable.

With D, though, I'm in metaprogramming heaven with templates, static
if/foreach, CTFE, and string mixins. :-P
