Go 1.27 RC1 brings generic methods, and the complaints start

Go 1.27 RC1 is out and generic methods are finally in the language, which is prompting the expected mix of relief and grumbling: one long Reddit thread walks through what landed and where the design already chafes, while a companion write-up runs through the rest of the 1.27 bundle including json/v2, a stdlib uuid, and a goroutine-leak profiler. Away from the release notes, there is a nine-year account of building Rune, a Go IDE that started in 2017 when the author's Vim go-to-definition broke and rebuilding an editor apparently seemed like the reasonable option.
