Native GUI library for Go

It's a slippery slope ("oh it's fine, I'm only copy/pasting N file(s)" where N slowly increases) which I don't want to go down.

Can you think of 3 specific examples and quantify the fan-out?

1. Float64Slice

2. IntSlice

3. StringSlice

Ah yes, I've run into this. It's certainly not some kind of "rabbit hole." So basically, there's a few lines of boilerplate for each time you want to sort something. So this is O(1) additional typing per sorted type, which is what it would be for generics. You're trying to kill your argument with faint support?

EDIT: Granted, it is an unusual formulation, and far less convenient.

1-A. SearchFloat64s

2-A. SearchInts

3-A. SearchStrings

Ho hum. Same arguments apply. Also O(1) per type, just like generics.
