Pretty much every article that is posted about Go ends up in a never ending discussion about the absence of generics, which completely drowns the discussions about Go. As a result, the material on the web about Go has a very high noise/signal ratio, which is unfortunate.

Hopefully, the Go team will see this as one more reason to add generics to their language, but until they do that, Go will remain a niche language with a severely crippled potential.
