Go already had generic structures anyways. Go maps supported generics. Or did you always use map[interface{}]interface{} everywhere for the purity of your anti-generics position ?

The built-in types that supported generics were limited to the essentials; slices, arrays, maps, etc. Those basic building blocks were obviously sufficient to allow Go to reach the level of success it has. It's not an argument to allow for unlimited generics.
