They don't, however people adopting Go and wanting generics shouldn't be tricked into thinking that Go developers are even considering generics , because they are not.
Wrong:
Generics may well be added at some point. [...] This remains an open issue.
If you understand one or two things about type theory then you know that generics cannot be added to GO. Go designers know it. They cannot add generics without breaking the language and they will not break the language.
When you have at least 3 core designers of that language saying on record that the language won't have new features, then you know what is written in that Faq ain't going to happen.
So let's not mislead people interested in Go into thinking that it will get generics, it will never have generics.
