That's the party line. And I, for one, don't believe that.
Go has been going for what, 3 years? And a couple more internally IIRC. And not only they came up with nothing with regard to generics as of now, there's also no research or initiative has been started that anybody knows of.
So how exactly are they supposed to "find an implementation that fits within the language design goals"? By some kind of satori?
