Not adding generics was Go's deliberate decision.

Ok, I stand corrected.
For that matter, D got
its type system all wrong compared to Haskell. So why won't

there?
Move where?
Tried to implement a GADT in D?
To clarify:
"Go's built-in maps and slices, plus the ability to use the empty
interface to construct containers (with explicit unboxing) mean
in many cases it is possible to write code that does what
generics would enable, if less smoothly."
Can you implement a GADT in D as "smoothly" as in Haskell?
