Has any headway been made on the issue of generic programming in Go? I haven't heard anything since the discussion on Russ Cox's blog about it a few months ago ( http://research.swtch.com/2009/12/generic-dilemma.html ). It would be very, very interesting if the techniques described by Stepanov in Elements of Programming could be applied in Go without a runtime performance hit or the destruction of Go's fantastic compile times (commenter Rivorus from the blog post seemed to think this was possible, and that even the baroqueness of C++ templates could be avoided).
e: Unfortunately I'm too busy with class and work lately to really learn more than a trivial amount of Go, but it's nice to hear news every so often so that I can remain abreast of developments and hopefully not be flat-footed when I do have time to dive in
