Robert Pike says in this thread 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!topic/golang-nuts/3fOIZ1VLn1o):

"Go has type switches, and therefore no need for the Visitor 
Pattern.". He has exactly the same mindset as Niklaus Wirth and 
Oberon never got templates. Future will tell... Would be a nice 
thing to bet a dime on whether Go will have generics or not. I 
bet not ;-).
