That is another way of looking at it, but given the topic, you're gonna have to expand or contextualise that. I Rust a fair bit, and only barely follow.

Actually in hindsight I think my perspective was less helpful because you can write a dyn compatible trait with a generic method it's just that you can't call the method via the trait objects, dynamic dispatch isn't possible for your function. So the original way to think about it was superior.

FWIW I found, so far, that bringing up dyn-compatibility to Rust people was very useful in helping them understand why Go's interfaces won't ever have generic methods.

The one additional piece of information you need is that in Go, all interfaces are supposed to be trait objects. The exception are union-elements, but that's really a restriction the Go team is trying to remove, not a model to base more features on.
