It looks like you've been completely ignored.
This may be partly a logistics issue - my name appears garbled.
And I love how the Sort package is their great example of implementing a
generic algorithm. I consider it a package which demonstrates the
problem with lack of generics.
I would agree that Go's sort tends to confuse people about what problems
can and cannot be solved with Go-style interfaces.

You have provided a very nice answer.
The problem with Go generics is religious, I might have to eat my own
words, but I seriously doubt they will ever support it.
They are too focused with Java and C++ as models, to accept anything
else as proof of them being wrong.
