I think only insiders on the Go team during that time period can really say for sure what the deal is.
But I will say that retrofitting generics onto a language and standard library is a project of enormous scope and incredible difficulty. So I'm pretty sympathetic to the idea that it took them a while.
- krzat 5y agoThoughts and prayers to the Go team. I suspect they got kinda forced into implementing this, otherwise generics would be available from the start.
- phillipcarter 5y agoI would say - congratulations to the Go team! It's a huge accomplishment and a testament to the quality of their software engineering process.
