Generics is only part of the issue. Go has a crippled type system. Json in go cannot be represented as a type and also is not type safe. This is 100 percent because go is missing a basic type primitive. Json contrary to what many people think is not untyped. Json is represented by a recursive sum type which go has no ability to represent. I think what caused this issue is more because the designers of go are more systems people rather than language theorists.
