Why HN links it

on “Another go at Go failed”Best I could find was this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/L5Lothlv... It also led to a real world example where the author tried using Go for a project and had a lot of need for Generics: http://oneofmanyworlds.blogspot.com/2011/11/draft-2-of-propo...
