It's also something that they've kept out of the language by 
design. I don't disagree with that decision either. If the 
selling points are fast compilation and code that is simple to 
write and read without much knowledge of the language, it's hard 
to see how generics fit in. Look at D. Templates slow compilation 
and having a standard library that emphasizes generic code makes 
it much harder to learn.
