Hi guys, Thanks for the effort, it is much needed for quite some time. I really appreciate the way of introducing the changes, go2go tool and open discussion, so I wanted to review them and participate with feedback so you can do the best job of understanding the world. With proposed changes, I think extending language to support something similar to polymorphism might be cheap.
Consider this go playground: https://go2goplay.golang.org/p/jqA4ccWeAKD. Syntax is awkward currently (some syntax sugar is definitively needed), but the point in the test below stands - you do have polymorphic slice, you can use base fields and methods, and you can cast to the child structure (which contains all the fields and methods from the base). json marshaling was added to the example, json unmarshal could be implemented similarly, but in that case we need provided mapping from base structure to the specialized one, which can't be typed with current generics (for some of it, interface{} and reflect would be needed). Could provide that example as well, if needed. Sending this idea as I think it might be interesting, and I think you might get some more ideas out of it.
