OK. How do you implement array.map() in Golang?

Wow. That seems very complicated for an implementation of map().

It seems like this is a perfect example of how generics are a productivity feature.

It's complicated because the reflect library is very general. There's no need to repeat most of this. So in fact, it's a perfect example of how functions are a productivity feature.
