The thing is that Go has generics already for the most common data types: slices (vectors, what Python calls 'lists', others call them 'arrays'), channels (iterators, generators), and maps (dictionaries, hashes). Since there's already a built-in map[T1] T2, so you wouldn't need to build it yourself, which saves even more work.

If what it has are a handful of special cases baked into the language, saying the language supports it is probably overselling (similarly, having types like `float[3]' doesn't mean we consider C as supporting dependent types).
