F# uses .NET's generics, so the statement regarding List/Set is completely incorrect (all base collections are generic).

[penteract → neonsunset]

I think you misread their claim - they said that generic list/set would have to be classes, not modules (generic modules are a specific thing in OCaml and aren't the same as a module of generic classes).

F# has "generics" just like Python and PHP now "have types".

It's not a yes/no feature.

[neonsunset → mrkeen]

Give F# a try. It has, and always had, true generics.

FTFM: It's not a true/false feature.

[neonsunset → mrkeen]

Alright. Humor me, what is the issue with F# generics as compared to other languages with generics? Which implementation (that is productively useful) is a "true" one?
