Go: Support for Generic Methods | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread debated Go’s generic methods and whether they can fit into the language’s interface model.

Commenters noted that generic interfaces are expected later, but generic methods still cannot satisfy interfaces or participate in dynamic dispatch.

The debate centered on whether this is a temporary gap in Go’s generics design or a more permanent language choice.

People compared the issue with past Go changes like modules, builtins, iterators, and errors.Is/errors.As to argue about Go’s design direction.
