Go does have generics, though.

Go doesn't have duck typing. It has structural typing, which is not duck typing. Duck typing is dynamic typing (at runtime), structural typing is static (at compile time).

> Packages?

Go does have packages.

In Go it's recommended to use versioned modules, not vendoring.

It has generics now. It took them a solid 10 years to get it. Packaging took them what, 8 years? They had that ridiculous GOROOT stuff for the longest time. And interfaces are basically duck typed.

Go interfaces are not ducked typed.
