Don't disagree but what often goes unnoticed in this discussion is that there are generics designs out there: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/15292-generics.md https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/15292-.... It's not so much "we should add generics but no one is really working on it" it's more "we should add generics and we've tried a dozen designs that haven't really panned out and we're still working on it". That's what makes me think they will end up happening.
