One specific example I encountered was ndarray. I couldn't figure out how to make a function take an array and an arrayslice without rewriting the function for both types. This could be because I'm novice with the language, but it didn't seem obvious. I ended up giving up after trying to dig through the docs for a few hours and went back to C++.
