I’m not sure Go has ever been a great language for non-CS people, but it’s been a very long time since I was new to programming. Go is pretty clearly a “get shit done” language catered to developers: a productivity tool. Why should it have its capabilities restricted?
English is used in both reality TV shows and scientific journals. The vocabulary used in the latter doesn’t prevent it from being useful in the former.
Go will still be usable the exact same way it is today after generics are brought in. It’s not like all the existing more approachable code written without generics won’t just disappear overnight.
That said, I agree with GP. Generics aren’t that complex anyway.
