Finally! This will be the last day I see the words "Go" "lack of"/"no" and "generics" in one sentence.

I mean in Java vs. C# fights people still bring up that C# generics are reified while Java generics rely on casting and erase type information at runtime, so probably not.
Go dodged that bullet by reifying theirs!
That'll have to wait until the next release when the standard library gets updated... But soon!
I'm sure you'll see plenty of comments saying "Go generics lack support for X". Just ignore them — some people seem to have nothing better to do.
