I coded in Go for one year for a microservice security company. After 
cursing for about two weeks I settled down and went along with whatever 
idioms Go wanted me to write in. I don't mean lack of features was not 
important; what I mean is, we humans can adapt any situation.

The fact that Go does not have generics (or templates) is an indication 
to me of the engineering skills of Go's creators. It's almost advocating 
"don't use the computer, write it again and again." Well, if they 
haven't understood the utility of templates, they first need to open 
their minds and then eat multiple bakery-fulls of bread. (Bad 
translation of a Turkish saying.)
