You're right. Although a lot of people have written about this limitation in the language. Applied Go has a tutorial on how to use arrays, slices, or maps as a workaround for many generics need cases, much like it looks like Ply does. https://appliedgo.net/generics/

depends on what you're trying to do with devops. If you're writing a script, I agree. Use bash anyway, Go probably isn't the thing. If you're writing a modular agent that monitors a running system, then generics would be pretty nice.

Ply looks interesting, but still lacking for my particular use case.
