@BurntSushi I really like this quote from What made you choose Rust over Go? - #7 by BurntSushi
I actually try hard to blend some of those goals that I find appealing into Rust code that I write. It can be very difficult at times. In general, I do my best to avoid writing generic code unless it's well motivated, or manifests in a way that represents a common pattern among all Rust code. My personal belief is that Go's lack of generics lends considerably to its simplicity. Writing in Go code heavily biases towards less generic code, and thus, more purpose driven code and less YAGNI code. I don't mean this to be a flippant comment; the best of us succumb to writing YAGNI code.
It expresses much more clearly what I was trying to state.
