[$] Generics for Go

The Go programming language was first releasedin 2009, with its 1.0 release made in March 2012. Even before the 1.0 release,some developers criticized the language as being too simplistic, partly dueto its lack of user-defined generictypes and functions parameterized by type. Despite this omission, Go is widely used, with an estimated 1-2 milliondevelopers worldwide. Over the years there have been several proposals toadd some form of generics to the language, but the recentproposal written by core developers Ian Lance Taylor and RobertGriesemer looks likely to be included in a future version of Go.
