Yes. IIRC, Rob Pike or someone else on the Go team even said something like "it's hard, so we are taking our time about it, may implement it later". Edit: see [1] below.

Also googled and found this:

http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4554

which includes this section:

Go might have generics in future

with this text:

The Go FAQ recognizes the issue and says that generics may be added at some point... http://golang.org/doc/go_faq.html#generics

Considering how Java generics turned out I am fine with the Go team taking the time to think about a proper design for generics in Go :-)

[1] The golang.org link above about generics also says this:

We haven't yet found a design that gives value proportionate to the complexity, although we continue to think about it.
