Like I said, it's a "small step". It's in the quote you quoted in fact. A small step, that's all. There's go generate now, maybe somebody will write "go super-duper-generate" later. All I'm saying is, if "generics" come to Go, it will be through a tool like "go super-duper-generate-v2.0-apples", not syntax. That's all.
I mean, we did this. It was called CFront. Now we have C++ templates that are probably Turing-complete and we use them to create things like Boost. Regardless of howyou feel about compile-time metaprogramming like Boost, Go exists as a direct reaction to its complexity, and that's exactly where go generate will take it.
