I don't.

The hardest part in implementing generics is when you support inheritance of implementation.

Go doesn't.

Go had the easiest job in implementing generics.

The only reason why they didn't was not technical: it was ideological and purely based in ignorance, and the fact that most Go designers stopped paying attention to the field of PLT in the late 90s.
