It's not just the "not now" approach.
It's not just the "not now" approach. It's the rhetoric that often goes along with it. The author of this piece picks up on it when he talks about the "we've already thought about this and we're tired of talking about it" vibe, though I might characterize a lot of the discussion around generics from the Go community at large more specifically as "you think you want/need this, but trust us, you don't, and the inconveniences you think you're experiencing are just not that big a deal, particularly compared to the inconveniences you'll experience if we do add it." And yes, if not having an HTTP server implementation in the stdlib seems like it makes your project difficult, that's a perfectly reasonable criticism of Rust. (Though one I suspect will get resolved much more quickly and cleanly than issues like generics in Go.)
