I think it is worth noting that Sameer Ajmani is the manager for the Go team. While some people like to throw around strawman arguments about the Go team not liking / not seeing the point of generics, they do have first-hand experience that the difficulties from their decision to (at least so far) exclude generics from the language.
And if you have a similar experience report; please share it. I think the team wants to get generics "right", but it's a difficult design problem (compiler complexity, compiler speed, binary size, ease of use, fitting in with the language, being simple enough) so feedback will help them understand the problem better.
