However, now that those features are part of the majority of mainstream languages, I surely don't want to go back to how I used to write software in the first two decades of my career.
Being "a better C" was the original battle cry of Go. It's definitely better than C (well, at least for some thing), but it doesn't mean all of these complex C software people used to write are toys.
Go is obviously not a useless toy language either. But that doesn't mean you won't miss features from more expressive languages. The amount of calls for generics from Go users tell a different story.
I think it is from Non-Go users who would use Go if only it had generics.
They guys from Movio did; their problem domain is likely different.
