But in all seriousness they are interested in implementing generics, just not in a hurry to do it. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to label it a low priority feature compared to other things they have added to Go. Java got along just fine before generics (which are arguably poor) and C still gets along fine without them. The Go authors are saying, lets add Generics when we are all happy about the solution and feel we are going to get it "right".
