The Next Step for Generics

Is it really first class though? Anything CPU bound is basically a noop since GO doesn't have actual threads.

Go automatically multiplexes goroutines on top of OS threads. You can peg all the cores of a multicore CPU in a single Go program using goroutines.

Edit: last I looked you could see how many OS threads would be used by looking at runtime.GOMAXPROCS. There was a time when it would just default to 1, but it looks like they changed it. When I last programmed in Go you had to override it via an environment variable or set it in code.
