    Im not sure about any library in particular.

    There were bunch of libraries which helped with code generation to work around generics. I don't think it was specific to Graphql.

    https://github.com/cheekybits/genny is one I have seen.

    TypeScript is pretty much necessary for a modern JS project if you ask me, so I agree with you here. At the same time, I'd say that if the JS ecosystem offers a solution, that doesn't count as a failure. It's like pointing to the lack of generics in Go and calling that a failure. No, that's a design choice that can be worked around. Same in JS; dynamic typing was a design choice, TypeScript is a solution.

    If you want to experiment, I've been meaning to try out this library, which uses code generation (a first-class feature in go), to give generics-like functionality.

    If you are into codegen, there are some larger codegen projects or there, like cheekybits/codegen (there are more in the space of trying to circumvent generics in go).

    In golang there is no parametric polymorphism (or “type parameters”, or “generics”). So people created workarounds, for example, gengen (similar solutions genny, generic, gen):
