I have yet to find anyone who can tell me why Go must have generics with

Can Go do this:
--------------
import std.stdio;
import std.array;
import std.algorithm;
void main() {
stdin.byLine(KeepTerminator.yes).
map!(a => a.idup).
array.
sort.
copy(
stdout.lockingTextWriter());
}
------------
(Read lines from stdin, sort the lines, write the sorted result to stdout.)
This makes heavy use of generics in order to implement pipeline programming.
