In the discussion's context, "generic" is about parameterized types (type-safe collections), not about working on any object.

* Go has a generic hashmap, the builtin map type is one of the magical special-status generic collections (with arrays, slices and channels).

* pre-1.5 Java did not have one, its only parametric type was the low-level array
