You were thinking maybe a gigantic new language feature would show up in the delta from 1.3 to 1.4.
If you follow Golang development, one of the uncanny things about it is how they really seem to nail the release schedule. They say what they're going to do. They say when they're going to be done. Then they do it, and announce their completion.
I think you can safely assume you'll know a ways ahead of time if Golang is suddenly going to become acceptable to people who require parameterized types to adopt a new language.

I'm sure you're right; I'm just chasing the little dopamine hit from predicting someone would make a comment about generics and knowing how I would respond.
