Adding new features makes Effective Go *incomplete* but not *invalid*. There is separate documentation available for Generics and other new features. Go documentation can only be invalidated if breaking changes are introduced to the language. But the Go 1 compatibility promise <https://go.dev/doc/go1compat> prevents this from happening except for very rare cases like, for example, security fixes that cannot be implemented without breaking existing code.
