"There are many reasons to be excited about generics in Go."

There were also many reasons to be excited about generics in C++, back in 1998 lol.

And C++ was already 25 years behind the times back then, because ML had generics in 1973.

C++ compilers already had experimental template support in 1992, e.g. Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1.
