    The Go programming language

    As you mention, this is no longer true. You are correct that a lot of existing code would have benefited from having had generics longer, but I don't think this is overall a big deal. The biggest issue is the lack of support for them in the standard library, but this is actively being worked on.

  • pytest-icdiff

    better error messages for assert equals in pytest

    After I found https://github.com/hjwp/pytest-icdiff, things changed. It was easy to see that one data structure had a small property difference. That was not happening with pytest.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Testify

    A toolkit with common assertions and mocks that plays nicely with the standard library
