This is actually my first week using go (from years of C++/Swift/js/etc) and I’ve been very impressed with the module system and simplicity so far. I’d definitely encourage others to try it if they haven’t.

As for generics, Go’s lack of function overloading and arg default values is really interesting. It ensures that a function is always easily found as it’s the only thing in the module with that name. I’ll be curious to see if generics are easier to follow without function overloading. It will still be only in one place, where as in C++ you could have hundreds of functions with the same name across many libraries and you just have to hope your ide knows which to step into.
