Ah, well context around it removes all my claims. It is clear he is saying that Go 1.x will not have generics.

Given the statements about backward compatibility there is no way Go 1.x can have generics. I'm fairly sure the core Go team are convinced the interface way and manual "overloading" is the way to go, and that generics are an unnecessary burden. Many people argue they are wrong
without actually trying the style of programming inherent in the
language.

You mean programming in

- Turbo Pascal with object as root
- Oberon with object as root
- Smalltalk with object as root
- Modula-3 with ROOTANY as root
- C++ without templates
- Java with object as root
- C# with object as root

Me, I know what it means.
