005: Spring arriving, so is Go 1.18 and Generics

Is Generics going to cause a fragmentation in the community? What's the big deal about it, I personally will appreciate less for-loop where it make sense to reduce verbosity.
What are you thinking about Generics? What about 3rd party libraries that will pop from everywhere once Go 1.18 launched?

Personally, I'll appreciate what the std lib offers and will wait before writing generics code, making sure I really need it.

I'm currently working on a free and open-source self-hosted Firebase alternative - if such things sound interesting, please join the Discord group and contribution are very welcome (it's written in Go of course).

This is my course on Building SaaS apps in Go.
