To be blunt, your examples do not show the actual power of Mixins. What you show could be better implemented by adding behaviours to the Person class and its various descendants. Perhaps showing that dogs and persons can share some common behaviours, but cannot descend from the same base class

As for Generics, do you think that using single-letter variable names, specified by convention, is a good idea? This is not Rails. We strive towards giving things good names because it helps. Let's not regress when specifying generics

Your Future examples have almost exactly the same behaviour as a regular call: wait until the call returns

Cheers
