alt Hacker NewsGeneric interfaces are going to be implemented later too if I'm reading correctly. So no real surprises there :). I guess the only surprise yet is that generic interfaces aren't supported, so generic methods physically can't satisfy any interface

I didn't see anything beyond "this doesn't prevent us from doing it" yet.
Did you?
Generic interfaces already exist. Generic interface methods, which would be relevant, are not planned. The reason is outlined early in the proposal: nobody knows how to implement them efficiently. Rust has the same problem, for what it's worth: dispatchable functions on dyn-compatible traits cannot be generic [1].
