Go is heavily based on polymorphism. It just doesn't make the mistake of thinking that inheritance is the proper way to achieve it.

Go has very limited polymorphic capabilities (implicit interfaces that have huge limitations). And struct embedding isn't composition. Now if you're talking about interface { } everywhere, sure, Go is as polymorphic as Javascript.

Go is also based on limitations. The job is to write programs that work, not to create little framework empires.

I don't know why you claim that struct embedding isn't composition.

What does that have to do with generics?

[skj]

Nothing. But at the same time, the comment I replied to made no mention of generics. Just polymorphism.
