1. Nobody is entitled to venture capitalist funding. It is not an oddly named and run social works program.
2. VC funding is not a home run. It is not free money. If the only way you can launch a tech business is venture funding with the hope of hitting it out of the park before the funds’ cliff, perhaps consider if the return justifies the effort.

No. The compiler compiles itself during the bootstrap phase.

I don't think you can separate a desire that generics was implemented a different way in these examples from the regret that their current implementation causes.
And the lesson learnt from studying other languages is "Don't add generics unless it's right for the language, even if that means choosing, on balance, to _NOT_ implement them at all".
