It's something sorely lacking in Go, so it's not unsurprising

It's also something that they've kept out of the language by
design. I don't disagree with that decision either. If the
selling points are fast compilation and code that is simple to
write and read without much knowledge of the language, it's hard
to see how generics fit in. Look at D. Templates slow compilation
and having a standard library that emphasizes generic code makes
it much harder to learn.
