When you have half a dozen generic builtins but reject the idea that builtins are necessary, and can’t even be arsed to provide a working vector type, you’re nowhere near “good”.

They never rejected it. In the very first post launching it they commented that they considered Generics but didn't add them because they didn't find a way that works well with Go's principles. I'm happy it took them the time it did to get to the current design. They did have a vector type before version 1 too, they intentionally removed it for similar reasons.
