Tons of languages have implemented Generics -- it's not rocket science since at least 2 decades. If the Go team is not interesting in working on the thing, then I doubt they would be really evaluating any "proposal".

Sure, but that doesn't mean there are not concerns about the way it is often implemented: http://research.swtch.com/generic
