The Next Step for Generics — Last July, there was a post on the official Go blog – Why Generics? – which addressed the popular demand for generics in Go. The Go team has listened, they’ve coded, they’ve tested, and they’re back with an update. Contracts are gone (hurrah!) and a simpler design is being proposed.
