It's a shame that this Java culture left its mark on the Python standard library (notably, in `unittest` and `logging`; the framework for text encodings is also highly boilerplate-y) and a fair bit of the ecosystem (pip has some classes like `class ConfiguredBuildBackendHookCaller(BuildBackendHookCaller)` in its own code, to say nothing of what's vendored) already, though.
Its a shame the over-abstraction culture was so strong that Go did not implement generics until over a decade later because they didn't want all the associated headaches. I know both are somewhat different, but it feels like it all came together as "let's not do that, its a nightmare" essentially.
