gollark: Maps, channels and slices.
gollark: I consider special casing bad, i.e. Go's three "generic" types are worse than a proper generics system.
gollark: i.e. Elm's `comparable` junk instead of full typeclasses.
gollark: That's *a* bad thing, but special casing is just where you bodge in support for one specific situation instead of a general solution.
gollark: No it doesn't.
