Agree- having map, filter, reduce with strong type guarantees will be a huge boon. Imagine being able to map over a collection and the code hints will understand the new output types in the chain. This is something you cannot have when your higher order ops are all typed to Interface {}.

Unfortunately, Go is a language whose original creator is of the opinion that map/filter/reduce are just ways to make your program "fit on one line"[1], and that you should just use a for loop[2].
