An argument for this is also that (all ?) languages that use generics use 
<>. It might make learning just easier for new Go developers that have 
experience from generics-compatible languages.

Dimas -> Resembling other languages in some ways is not necessarily a bad 
thing, if the idea behind it makes sense.
