one of the things that frustrates me about generics is working with collections.

Just that one? Generics are the worst thing since Windows 3.11 ... I try to keep my code clean and add generics where they make sense but I hate them. There is absolutely NO GAIN in using them, just annoyance.

how about being able to do this :-

myarray.objectAtIndex(i).getMyKeypath();

without having to do a cast ?

i luuuuuurrrve generics!

Yeah, but it's implementation in Java sux.

Example:
NSMutableArray<? extends Foo> foos; // no problem

foos = new NSMutableArray<? extends Foo>(); // can't compile

Just stupid.
