Go 1.2
I am a heavy user of Go, I use it in my job and for side projects as well, for years now.The lack of generics in Go takes away most of the fun from coding after a couple of month. Despite what is being said, interfaces do not lessen the pain.With a better type system, taking ides from Haskell (ADT, generics done well, ability to implement interfaces for a type outside of its package etc) Go could be the perfect "dirty Haskell" for me, but now it is just a meh language with a half assed implementation.That being said, it is still a much better choice then a lot of overcomplicated languages out there.EDIT:The biggest practical problem with not having generics is the fact you do not have access to list (slice in Go) manipulation functions. This means you have to implement them yourself, on the fly, for the given type when you need it. This does increase the time it takes to implement something, but also can introduce a lot of bugs as well - you can't rely on (almost guaranteedly) bug free implementations of existing functions.Of course this runs much deeper than just the list type, but on day-to-day basis I feel this to be the biggest pain. But the rabbit hole is deep: we could get into how the multiple returns values are just a really inconvenient (not composable) workaround of not having a generic tuple type...
