It's pretty clear you're trolling now, but FWIW:

- slices and maps are already generic in Go

- Go has great performance, great readability and write ability, and that's valuable for everyone, not just beginners

- Go is a language, not a library

> The fact it took years to plan them instead of including them right away is a nice proof of how ill-conceived Go is as a language.

It's not. Really.

I am not. I genuinely think Google is evil and should be dismantled.

> - slices and maps are already generic in Go

So people are supposed to not rewrite 2 of the possibly infinite types of data structures and classes, and constantly rewrite all the rest of them?

Enough other languages do as well.

> Go is a language, not a library

If Google abandons the funding it does not matter what it technically is. No money, no developers.
