Interesting new language named fan? Seemed nifty. However their stance of generics seems a bit odd. Generics suck so lets build a couple cases into the language... Hmmmmmm
"Generics are bad, but we needed them to save our selves a lot of pain with these three data structures. We decided not to give people using our language the same option. Have fun."
I think are using a stricter definition of what generic means than some languages use. In a lot of languages arrays are just a magical builtin. I like how it has better support for immutable types.
