Why Generics? - The Go Programming LanguageThis article is about what it would mean to add generics to Go, and why I think we should do it. I’ll also touch on an update to a possible design for adding generics to Go. Go was released on November 10, 2009. Less than 24 hours later we saw the first comment about generics. (That comment also mentions exceptions, which we added to the language, in the form of panic and recover, in early 2010.)
