I don't understand why you would create a statically typed language but not actually take advantage of types, instead typing everything with generic types like string. Why make the user pay for complexity in types but not actually deliver their promise? This is the problem with C and Go doesn't really solve it either
We just ran a pretty high profile 20 year experiment with Stringly Typed languages - Java.
Generally we try to avoid the mistakes of the previous generation (and make the same ones as the one before that, half the time) so this is confusing to me.
I wonder how many Android contributors he had working with him while these decisions were being made.
