Given the statements about backward compatibility there is no way Go 1.x
can have generics. I'm fairly sure the core Go team are convinced the
interface way and manual "overloading" is the way to go, and that
generics are an unnecessary burden. Many people argue they are wrong
without actually trying the style of programming inherent in the
language.
