For instance, try writing a reusable exponential backoff algorithm. Oh, and you can’t use interface{}.
"For instance, try writing a matrix/matrix multiply. Oh, and you can't use numerical types. We're writing in a language with string support for a reason."
It's not an exact analogy, but it seems disingenuous to include an arbitrary handicap and then complain that something is difficult.
I would argue that the handicap is not arbitrary. As I explained in the sentence after, using interface{} would cause the loss of static type checking which is incredibly valuable.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
