gollark: Interesting!
gollark: In languages such as Haskell, generics are extremely natural. `data Beeoid a b = Beeoid a | Metabeeoid (Beeoid b a) a | Hyperbeeoid a b a b` trivially defines a simple generic data type. It is only in the uncoolest of languages that this simplicity has been stripped away, with generic support artificially limited to a small subset of types, generally just arrays and similar structures. Thus, reject no generics, return to generalized, simple and good generics.
gollark: Great. Doing so. Thanks, syl.
gollark: Or at least... more consistent, which is kind of similar.
gollark: Perhaps it could be argued that generics are the natural state of things somehow, and simpler than no generics.
